Ingredients
- 4 ripe but firm pears
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granola
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the pears thoroughly and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the core and seeds, creating a small well in the center of each half.
Step 3
Brush each pear half with lemon juice to prevent them from browning and to enhance flavor.
Step 4
Arrange the pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish that will hold them snugly in a single layer.
Step 5
Drizzle one tablespoon of honey over each pear half, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the pears.
Step 6
Pour the cup of water into the base of the baking dish to create steam as they bake, helping to keep the pears moist.
Step 7
Divide the butter into small pieces and scatter them over and around the pears in the dish.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap the heat 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 when pierced with a fork and the honey has caramelized slightly.
Step 10
Remove the pears from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, sprinkled with granola for added texture. Optionally, drizzle with additional honey if desired.
