Baked Pears

We picked pears last week and kept them in a paper bag to ripen!  

I baked 2 of them for dessert while we were eating dinner the other night and I thought I would share the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe pears
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 T Brown Sugar
• 2 T crushed pecans
•  4 T Pure Maple Syrup

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Cut the pears in half and place on a baking sheet (cut sliver off the bottom if they don't sit upright)
• Using a measuring spoon or melon baller, scoop out the seeds.

4.Sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar, top with walnuts and drizzle 1/2 T of maple syrup over each one.

5.Bake in the oven 30 minutes. Remove.  Drizzle the remaining 2 T syrup over tops, let cool and enjoy!

Don't be afraid to add a little whipped cream:

ENJOY!

The same recipe can be prepared with apples, too!!
