Ingredients
  

For the Pears
  • 4 pieces Bosc Pears Substitute with Anjou pears if needed.
For the Baking Mixture
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Fresh-pressed apple juice works as a great alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Use coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Real Grade A Maple Syrup Steer clear of imitation syrups.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adjust according to your taste preference.

Equipment

  • baking dish
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the apple cider until warm, then add the diced butter and stir until melted.
  3. Slice the firm Bosc pears in half lengthwise and scoop out the core, placing them cut-side up in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the warm cider-butter mixture over the pears, sprinkle cinnamon, and drizzle maple syrup on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the pan juices.
  6. After 30 minutes, check for tenderness; they should be caramelized and soft when done.
  7. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or cottage cheese.
