Ingredients:

• 4 medium pears 🍐
• 3 tablespoons honey 🍯
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter 🥥🧈
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon 🌰
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). 🔥 This will ensure that your pears bake evenly and turn out perfectly tender.
2. Prepare the Pears: Peel the pears using a vegetable peeler. 🍐🔪 Once peeled, cut off the ends and slice the pears in half. ✂️ Carefully scoop out the core from each half. 🍐🕳️
3. Arrange the Pears: Place the pear halves face down on a baking sheet or in a 9×13 glass baking dish. 📋 This will help them cook evenly and absorb all the delicious flavors of the sauce.
4. Make the Cinnamon-Honey Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the honey, cinnamon, coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until well combined. 🥄🍯
5. Coat the Pears: Spoon about ½ to ¾ of the sauce over the pears, making sure they are well coated. 🍐🥄 This will give them a rich, sweet glaze as they bake.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pears are soft and slightly browned. ⏳ The aroma of cinnamon and honey will fill your kitchen, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
7. Finish and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the pears sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly. ⏲️ Before serving, spoon the remaining sauce over each pear for an extra touch of sweetness. 🍐🍯
8. Enjoy: Serve the baked pears warm, and enjoy this comforting and flavorful dessert. 🎉

Recipe Notes:

• Variations: Feel free to experiment with different types of pears or add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra texture.
