Baked pears are an elegant dessert that's easy enough to make for family dinners. This recipe has no added sugar, and you're not going to miss it!

Ingredients

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
4 large pears, 2 lb. total weight, firm (don’t use ripe pears)

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9 X 13 baking dish.
02

Peel the pears, halve and core them. You can core them with a melon baller, with a measuring spoon, or with a paring knife (be careful if using a knife). I like to leave the stems on – they make for a pretty presentation. But you can cut them off if you wish.
03

In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Brush the pears with the butter mixture on both sides.
04

Arrange the pears in the prepared baking dish, cut side down. Bake them until fork-tender, about 30 minutes per side, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.
05

Brush the pears one last time with the pan juices and serve warm.
