How to make Oven Baked Pears with Cinnamon step by step:

This recipe is quick and easy and just like our 3 Ingredient Roasted Asparagus or 3 Ingredient Cranberry Sauce, this one does not require much from the kitchen. Here is how you make 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. You can squirt a little lemon juice over the tops if you are concerned about them turning brown.

Step 2 - Add cinnamon.

Sprinkle cinnamon generously over the tops of the pear halves. You can use pre ground cinnamon or you can grind your own from a cinnamon stick for a fresher and more potent cinnamon flavor. If you are using any of our serving suggestion additions, add them here.

Step 3 - Bake the Cinnamon Pears in the oven

Bake at 375ºF for 25 minutes total time. 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.

How to store Cinnamon Baked Pears

Here are two ways of storing Baked Pears with Cinnamon for later:

• Cover the 9x13 baking dish with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for 2-3 days. After this, the pears start to get mushy.
• Place into an airtight container and pour any juice remaining in the pan into the container as well. Seal and keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.

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 or brandy. Spray the top with a little bourbon or brandy right before baking.
• Honey glazed candied pears. Instead of sugar, drizzle some honey over the top.
