    Baked pears make a regular appearance at our house. I usually throw them in the oven right alongside whatever I’m cooking for dinner. They only take a few minutes to prepare and bake for 40 minutes. When they come out of the oven, they are ready to serve with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

    As simple and easy as this dessert is to make, it can also be served on a more formal occasion. I’ve served these Baked Pears to guests many times. They are just right when a light, sweet dessert is the perfect compliment to a rich meal.

    Simple Cinnamon Baked Pears

    Make this recipe, because... 

    This dessert is so simple to make. It only takes about 10 minutes to assemble and is ready to eat right out of the oven. 

    The syrup that is made while the pears cook coats the fruit perfectly ensuring that each and every bite is well spiced and beautifully sweet.

    This recipe is inexpensive and not over the top with sugar, making it a family friendly treat. With a dab of butter and a little bit of sugar, my kids gobble up a whole pear after dinner. That is win in this house!

    If you are in the mood to bake, try this Classic Apple Pie or Homemade German Chocolate Cake.

    FAQs

    What types of pears are best for baking?

    The best baking pears are Bosc, D’Anjou, and Bartlette pears are good for baking. Bosc are strongly preferred. Bosc pears sweeten sooner in the ripening process.

    How ripe should baking pears be?

    Pears should be firm-ripe for baking. They should hold their shape while cooking. Overly ripe or soft-ripe pears may fall apart while cooking.

    The flesh of a ripe pear will give just a little bit to the pressure of your thumb.

    Expert Tips

    When coring, be sure to remove the circular area that holds the seeds at the base of the fruit as well as the vein that runs to the top. You should be able to core a ripe pear with a teaspoon.

    Choose fruit that is firm and unblemished.

    Serve warm with Vanilla Ice Cream and a drizzle of the syrup from the bottom of the baking dish.
