Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain yogurt (optional for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and dry the pears. Slice them in half lengthwise and use a spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the cores.
Step 3
Place the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the light brown sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the pear halves, ensuring each pear is coated with the sauce.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pears are tender and slightly golden.
Step 8
Remove the pears from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
If desired, serve the baked pears with a dollop of low-fat plain yogurt for added creaminess.
