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.

We were at our local apple orchard last week and picked up a 1/2 peck of fresh pears too. I don’t think pears get enough of the spotlight when it comes turning them to treats.

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

My daughter on the other hand found 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.

INGREDIENTS

4 medium pears

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Peel the pears with a vegetable peeler.

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 1/2 – 3/4 of the sauce over the pears.

Bake for 30 minutes until soft and turning brown.

Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes
