Ingredients

• 4 pieces ripe pears
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup water
• 0 optional toppings (whipped cream, chopped nuts, or vanilla ice cream)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the pears thoroughly, then cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or melon baller to remove the cores and seeds, creating a hollow space in the center of each pear half.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside.

Step 4

Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Place the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish. Brush each pear half generously with the butter and vanilla mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly over the pears, making sure the tops are well-coated.

Step 7

Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish, being careful not to pour it directly over the pears. This will help keep the pears moist as they bake.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pears are tender and caramelized on top.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of optional toppings, such as whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
