Ingredients

Scale

Pears

  • 4 medium-sized pears

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pears: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the pears using a vegetable peeler, trim off the ends, and slice each pear in half. Carefully scoop out the core from each half without breaking the fruit, and place the halves face down on a baking sheet or 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
  2. Make Honey-Cinnamon Sauce: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine honey, coconut oil or unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Microwave for about 30 seconds until the coconut oil or butter is melted. Stir thoroughly to blend the ingredients well. Optionally, taste and add extra cinnamon for more warmth.
  3. Coat Pears and Bake: Spoon half to three-quarters of the honey-cinnamon sauce over the prepared pears, evenly coating each half. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes until the pears are soft and golden brown.
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the pears from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Before serving, drizzle the remaining honey-cinnamon sauce over each pear for added flavor and shine. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or toasted nuts for an indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm pears for best texture after baking.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon to your taste preference for more or less spice.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute coconut oil with unsalted butter.
  • Can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Pairs well with vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for extra texture and flavor.
