Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut 4 medium ripe pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core to create a shallow cavity; brush each half with 1 tbsp lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter and stir in 3 tbsp honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined and warm.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish. Spoon the honey-butter mixture evenly over the pears, then sprinkle 1/2 cup slivered almonds and 1 tsp ground cinnamon on top.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 25-30 minutes until pears are tender and almonds are toasted and golden, checking halfway through to baste pears with pan juices for a glossy finish.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm, drizzled with any remaining cinnamon-honey sauce from the pan.
