Bake ripe pears until tender, topping them with a simple glaze of honey and cinnamon, finished with a crunchy walnut oat crumble for texture. This is an easy, healthy pear dessert idea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 firm ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou work well)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  2. Wash the pears. Slice each pear in half lengthwise and use a melon baller or small spoon to carefully remove the core and seeds.
  3. Place the pear halves cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the honey, melted butter, cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt until combined. This creates your glaze.
  5. Spoon half of the honey mixture evenly over the cut surface of the pears.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and brown sugar to create the crumble topping.
  7. Sprinkle the walnut oat crumble mixture over the glazed surface of each pear half.
  8. Pour the remaining honey mixture into the bottom of the baking dish around the pears.
  9. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • For an elegant appetizer, try substituting the walnut crumble with a small piece of soft goat cheese placed in the core cavity before baking.
  • Serve these warm spiced pears with a dollop of Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent dessert.
  • If you do not have walnuts, use pecans or slivered almonds for the topping.
