  • 2 ripe pears, halved
  • ¼ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans (or a combo of both)

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the nuts, dried fruit, pumpkin pie spice, and agave or maple syrup until well-combined.
  3. Using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the seeds of the pears. Add a generous scoop to each innard of the pears.
  4. If you’d like to drizzle on a little more sweetener or powder or a bit more pumpkin pie spice, feel free.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Notes

  • In a pinch, using cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice will work, too.

  • Don’t over-core the pears: You don’t want to lose unnecessary pear flesh when coring, or the fruit will be more likely to collapse when baked.
  • Tweak the flavors: This baked pears recipe is incredibly versatile. Adjust the amount of sweetener/spices, swap out various elements in the filling, add extra flavors, etc.
  • Line the pan: This makes clean-up a breeze.
