Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best pears for baking?

When I’m baking pears, I almost always reach for Royal Riviera, Bosc, and Anjou Pears. They bake well and provide the best texture. Be sure to use a ripe pear, which means there will be some give, but they should not be mushy.

What granola works best in this 4-ingredient Baked Pears recipe?

Your favorite granola. I love to make my own granola… my favorites for topping pears are Breakfast Granola and Cranberry Granola.

What can I serve these baked pears with?

I like them plain but you can serve them with plain or Greek yogurt to stick to the healthy theme. Vanilla ice cream our pouring cream would also be great!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Half the ripe pears and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Lay them on a baking sheet. You might want to slice a sliver off the back of the pear so that it lays flat if necessary.
Sprinkle the top of the pears with cinnamon, then top with your favorite granola; store-bought or homemade. Then drizzle the pear and granola with honey.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pear is soft. Let them cool before serving. I like to add a dollop of my favorite yogurt too.
