Ingredients:

  • 4 medium firm pears (Bosc or Anjou), halved and cored
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 4 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully slice the pears in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller or pairing knife to remove the center seeds, creating a small well. Arrange them cut-side up in a 9x13 inch baking dish and dust the tops evenly with cinnamon and nutmeg.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
  3. Spoon the honey mixture generously into the center of each pear, allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Scatter the chopped walnuts over the top.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the pears are tender when pierced with a fork and the honey is bubbling and a deep golden brown.
