Baked Pears

Similar to baked apples. You can add chopped walnuts, nutmeg, cranberries, or anything you like.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

Cut top quarter of pears off; create a well by scooping out the core, being careful not to puncture the bottom of the pear. Arrange pears in a shallow baking dish.

Step: 3

Drizzle maple syrup over pears. Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter in each pear; sprinkle with cinnamon.

Step: 4

Bake in preheated oven until pears are easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 50 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
