Baked Pears with Walnuts and Honey
A simple, elegant dessert that feels like a warm hug. Baking pears concentrates their natural sweetness, so you only need a drizzle of honey. The walnuts add crunch and healthy omega-3 fats.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm pears (Bartlett or Bosc)
- 2 tbsp walnuts, chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp water
- Optional: a dollop of Greek yogurt for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cut pears in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the core and seeds, creating a small well.
-
Place pear halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
-
Mix chopped walnuts, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla. Spoon into the wells of each pear half.
-
Pour 1 tbsp water into the bottom of the baking dish (prevents sticking and creates steam).
-
Bake for 25 minutes, or until pears are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Serve warm, optionally topped with Greek yogurt.
