- 4 ripe pears (like Bosc or Anjou)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, granola
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the pears and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the core and seeds.
- Place the pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter.
- Spoon the maple-cinnamon mixture evenly over the cut surfaces of the pears.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Choose pears that are ripe but still firm to the touch. They should yield slightly when gently pressed.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of bourbon or rum to the maple syrup mixture before baking.
- These baked pears are delicious served with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of crunchy granola.
