I had a couple of perfectly ripe pears on the counter this week. And they were calling my name.
So was a cozy night in and a simple, simple, mostly healthy dessert.
And these baked pears absolutely satisfied that sweet tooth and qualified as the simplest baked dessert ever.

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

Baked Pears Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe pears
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp honey
- 2/3 cup granola
- optional yogurt or frozen yogurt
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.
