    Simple Baked Pears with Cinnamon and Honey are a wonderful healthy snack or turned into a luscious dessert when topped with a dab of vanilla ice cream.

    It doesn’t get any easier than making these baked pears for an easy little healthy snack along with your yogurt. Or to turn an otherwise ordinary fruit into an elegant dessert.

    We were at our local apple orchard last week and picked up a ½ peck of fresh pears too.  I don’t think pears get enough of the spotlight when it comes to turning them to treats.

    My daughter decided fond that a dab of vanilla ice cream on top was the best way to have hers.  And I have to agree!  Serve these at your next dinner gathering and your guests will be shocked at home delectable they are.

    Baked Pear Ingredients

    4 medium pears

    3 tablespoons honey

    2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter

    ½ teaspoon cinnamon

    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    two baked pear halves on a white plate with a fork

    How to Make Baked Pears

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    Peel the pears with a vegetable peeler.

    Cut the ends off and then cut the pears in half.

    Scoop out the core gently.

    Please them face down on a baking sheet or in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish .

    In a small prep bowl, combine the honey, cinnamon, coconut oil and vanilla extract and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to combine well.  (you can also heat on the stove in a small saucepan.)

    Spoon ½ – ¾ of the sauce over the pears.

    Bake for 30 minutes until soft and turning brown.

    Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes

    Spoon additional sauce over each pear before serving.

    ENJOY!!

      Made these pears tonight. Served as a side dish to parmesan encrusted flounder with crispy greens. The sweetness of the pears was a perfect compliment. My husband was slurping up the sauce. So easy but dinner looked so special, especially for a Wednesday night ;). Thanks for sharing a great little recipe.

      Sherri, I love this! In my apple frenzy every autumn, I often overlook pears, which are delicious as well. And fruit desserts are my favorite kind.
