Make these Classic Cinnamon Honey Baked Pears for a simple, elegant, and warm fruit dessert. This recipe uses natural sweeteners and spices for a comforting flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm ripe pears (like Bosc or Anjou)
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Wash the pears. Cut each pear in half lengthwise and use a melon baller or small spoon to scoop out the core and seeds.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the honey, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together to create the glaze.
  4. Place the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Spoon the honey-cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut surface of each pear half.
  6. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish. This prevents the pears from sticking and creates steam.
  7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork. Basting them with the pan liquid halfway through helps them stay moist.
  8. Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the warm pears.
  9. Serve warm. This is a great healthy baked pears option.

Notes

  • For a sweet and savory pears twist, try adding a small crumble of goat cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute brown sugar for half of the honey.
  • These baked pears are naturally gluten free.
