Baked Pears Recipe
I’m pretty sure this is the easiest dessert recipe there ever was. All you need are three simple ingredients, and a little bit of time in the oven, and you have an absolutely delicious dessert (or even breakfast!). You can serve it as a super simple dessert with a scoop of ice cream on top, or you could make them for breakfast and serve it on top of oatmeal or yogurt.
These pears are so versatile, you could even use maple syrup if you don’t want to use honey. When baked in the oven, pears become perfectly tender and it amplifies their sweetness and flavor. If you are a pear lover, this recipe is a must-try! They even reheat well for leftovers throughout the week. You can use different types of pears too, so get what looks best at your grocery store or farmer’s market. I have used Bartlett, Anjou, and Bosc pears for recipes like this, and they all work beautifully.

I have too many pears from our pear tree this year. I love your way of making them. Thank you. And….you have to love you, too. You are so funny! It makes life fun.
You are so sweet to say that, thank you so much!
Simple ingredients, and simple to make nevertheless the final result is mouth-watering. The flavors go so well together and take the simple pear to another level of deliciousness.
I added brown sugar at the end since my pears needed a kick of sugar but very nice
I’m so glad you liked them, Karen! The brown sugar is a nice touch 🙂
