Just look at that gorgeous plate of Simple Baked Pears with Maple Syrup. So fancy, right? The truth is, this is the easiest dessert you’ll ever make and it’s healthy to boot!

What got me most excited about these Simple Baked Pears, though, was my family’s reaction. They loved these. I knew I was excited about a fruit dessert with very little added sugar (just two tablespoons of maple syrup in the entire recipe!), but I didn’t think they would share my enthusiasm. Simple Baked Pears with Maple Syrup one pear up close

I was happily surprised when they thought these Simple Baked Pears were incredible and mmmmm’d the whole time they were eating them!

I’d call that a win all around. A quick, easy dessert recipe that’s healthy and my family loves? These Simple Baked Pears will be on our menu often!

I’ve made these a few times now and have only served them with just the pears. I do think they would be incredible with a scoop of ice cream (or this non-dairy mousse–YUM!). I think next time we will try that!

I hope you try these because I just know you’ll love them!

Description

These Simple Baked Pears are a quick, easy, and healthy dessert with very little added sugar!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm D’Anjou pears
  • 3 tablespoons butter*
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Optional topping: chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Peel the pears and cut them in half length-wise. Carefully scoop out the core and seeds from each half.
  3. In a cast iron or other oven proof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  4. Place the pears in the skillet, cut side down, and cook them until they are starting to get browned, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Using a fork, carefully flip pears to cut side up and continue to bake another 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the pears from the oven and carefully transfer them to a platter.
  7. Put the skillet back on the stove over low heat, and whisk in the maple syrup with the butter and juices in the skillet.
  8. Spoon the maple syrup sauce over the pears. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans. Enjoy!

Notes

*To make this vegan, use coconut oil in place of the butter

Recommended equipment: Cast Iron Skillet

    A lovely dish, easy to make and absolutely delicious. I’ve just made it for the first time and we ate it still warm. Is this good to serve cold as well or does the butter make the sauce greasy?

    The end result tasted good, but putting the pan with pears and coconut oil into my oven splattered HORRIBLY, smoked out half my house, and my oven is now encased in burnt coconut oil. This should be covered with foil, or just cooked on the stove top.

      Thank you for letting me know you liked how the final dish turned out. I’m sorry to hear you had some problems with the coconut oil splattering. It wonder if it had to do with the type/size of pan you used? I’ve not had this issue or I would have warned about it in the recipe notes.
