Ingredients

  • 2 large pears

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons butter, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Cut top quarter of pears off; create a well by scooping out the core, being careful not to puncture the bottom of the pear. Arrange pears in a shallow baking dish.

  3. Drizzle maple syrup over pears. Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter in each pear; sprinkle with cinnamon.

  4. Bake in preheated oven until pears are easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 50 minutes.

Cook’s Note

Use less butter if your pears are medium or small.
