This recipe for Baked Pears with Cinnamon comes from the fact that over the past few weeks we have gotten tons of pears from the KiwiKids boxes. An abundance of pears is never a bad thing in our house but we wanted to do something with them beyond just packing them in the kids' lunches. This recipe is a quick and easy way to turn ordinary pears into a healthy gourmet dessert!

Why This Recipe Works
- Easy to make. Slice the pears, bake, add cinnamon. That's it!
- Only uses 2 ingredients. Pears and cinnamon. Pears are so loaded with natural sweetness that there is no need for added sugar.
- Ready in under 30 minutes. Slice the pears and bake while you move on to making other things like Salami Pizza or Chicken Marsala.
- Great dessert for people with dietary restrictions. Besides being kosher, these Baked Pears are gluten free, pareve, and vegan. Serve this to almost any guest or family member.
A Step by Step Guide to Making Oven Baked Pears with Cinnamon:
Step 1 - Slice the pears.
Slice the pears down the middle lengthwise. Remove the stem and core from the middle using a teaspoon or melon baller if you have one. Place the pears skin side down into a 9x13 baking dish.
Step 2 - Add cinnamon.
Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the tops of the pears. If you are using any of our serving suggestion additions, add them here.
Step 3 - Bake
Bake at 375ºF for 25 minutes. You know the pears are done when you can sink a fork into one without too much resistance. Make sure not to over bake the pears or they will turn into mush.
Serving suggestions
- Make it maple flavored. Drizzle some maple syrup over the top of the pears just before baking.
- Eat it with ice cream. Top with a scoop of vanilla or buttered pecan ice cream
- Add pecans or walnuts. Sprinkle on some walnuts or pecans to add some texture and different flavor.
- Eat warm or cold. Baked pears with cinnamon are great warm out of the oven or cold the next day.
- Bourbon flavored. Nothing goes with baked fruits like a spritz of bourbon. Spray the top with a little bourbon right before baking.
