Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium pears
Sweeteners:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) honey
Spices and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) coconut oil or butter
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal environment for transforming fresh pears into a delectable dessert.
- Carefully cleanse and prepare the pears by removing their outer skin using a sharp vegetable peeler, ensuring a smooth surface.
- Slice each pear precisely in half, then delicately excavate the central core using a small spoon or melon baller, creating a clean cavity.
- Position the pear halves with their cut sides facing downward on a sturdy baking sheet, allowing for uniform heat distribution.
- Craft a luxurious sauce by whisking together honey, ground cinnamon, melted coconut oil, and fragrant vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously drizzle approximately three-quarters of the aromatic sauce over the pear halves, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the glistening mixture.
- Transfer the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the pears to roast for roughly 30 minutes until they develop a tender texture and caramelized edges.
- Once removed from the oven, permit the pears to rest momentarily, allowing their internal temperature to stabilize and flavors to settle.
- Complete the presentation by cascading the remaining sauce over the warm pears, creating a final layer of sweet, glossy elegance.
- Serve immediately, savoring the harmonious blend of natural pear sweetness and warm cinnamon undertones.
Notes
- Preserve leftover baked pears in an airtight container for up to three days, keeping their luscious texture and caramelized sweetness intact.
- Choose ripe but firm pears like Bosc or Anjou for best baking results, ensuring they hold their shape during the roasting process.
