Print Recipe

Baked Pears with Honey & Walnuts is a warm and comforting dessert that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of ripe pears with the floral notes of honey and the crunchy texture of toasted walnuts. This simple, wholesome dessert is quick to prepare and bake, making it ideal for a healthy treat that pairs wonderfully with ice cream, yogurt, or granola.

Ingredients

Scale

Pears

  • 4 ripe but firm pears (such as Bosc or Bartlett)

Sweets & Toppings

  • 3–4 tablespoons raw or wildflower honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Nuts

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted

Fat

  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the Pears: Wash and halve the pears. Using a spoon or melon baller, gently scoop out the core and seeds from each half to create a small well for the filling.
  2. Toast the Walnuts: Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant and lightly golden to enhance flavor and crunch.
  3. Assemble the Pears: Arrange the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish. Drizzle each pear with a little butter or coconut oil. Fill the wells with the toasted walnuts, then generously drizzle honey over both the filling and the pears. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the pears for 20-25 minutes until they are tender but still hold their shape, and slightly caramelized with honey bubbling around the edges.
  5. Serve Warm: Allow the pears to cool for a few minutes after baking. This lets the flavors settle into a sweet, nutty, and soft dessert ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Choose firm pears to avoid mushy texture after baking.
  • Toast walnuts evenly by stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Use fresh raw honey for brighter flavor and better texture.
  • Monitor baking time carefully to keep pears tender but intact.
  • Experiment with spices such as cardamom or ginger for a unique twist.
