Baked Pears with Brown Sugar and Salted Butter

Place the pears, cut side up, in a baking dish.

✅ Step 2: Add the Sweet & Savory Magic

Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top of each pear half. Add a cube or two of salted butter into the hollow of each pear. If you’re using spices or nuts, sprinkle those on now too.

✅ Step 3: Bake to Perfection

Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the pears are tender and the sugar and butter have melted into a golden syrup. You can spoon some of that buttery sauce over the pears halfway through for extra flavor.

✅ Step 4: Serve Warm

Serve your baked pears warm, drizzled with the buttery pan juices. For an extra treat, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey.

🌟 Tips & Variations:

• Use maple syrup or honey instead of brown sugar for a different twist
• Add vanilla extract or orange zest to the butter mix for extra aroma
• Try stuffing the hollow with a mix of oats, raisins, and nuts for a baked crumble feel
• For a dairy-free version, swap the butter with coconut oil and use plant-based ice cream
