Baked Pears

Ingredients

4 large pears

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Lightly butter the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

2. Peel the pears, halve and core them. You can core them with a melon baller, a metal measuring spoon, or a paring knife. 

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

4. Arrange the pears in the prepared baking dish, cut side down. Bake them for 30 minutes, flip, and continue baking until fork-tender, for about 30 more minutes. Baste them every 15 minutes with the pan juices.

5. Brush the pears one last time with the pan juices. Serve warm.
