Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a large baking pan (any size that will fit the halved pears) or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

Cut pears in half. Using a large or medium cookie scoop or melon baller (or a regular spoon), core out the seeds. Arrange pears, facing up, in/on the prepared baking pan/sheet. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon—feel free to add more cinnamon if you’d like.

Step 3

Whisk together the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Drizzle all over the pears.

Step 4

Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until soft and lightly browned on the edges. If your pears were quite firm, you may need to extend the bake time. Remove from the oven. Serve warm with granola and yogurt, if desired.

Step 5

Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Chef’s notes

Pears are best baked right before they are served, but you could bake them completely and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Then, warm back up in the oven for 10 minutes.

Select pears that are medium-ripe. Not too firm, but not too ripe and soft, either. Anjou, Bartlett, and Bosc pears are the most widely available, and you can’t go wrong with any of these varieties for baked pears.
