It's quite impressive how baking can turn pears from a simple fruit into a delectable sweet treat. We love warm desserts, such as these baked pears, especially during those chilly months. When the fruit is baked, the natural sweetness comes out making it easy to mix and match to any toppings of your choice. You can do it as I did and season it with pumpkin pie spice and top it nicely with walnuts, pecans, raisins, or cranberries. This gives the pears the perfect autumn taste that is so warm and comforting. Or let your creativity and sweet tooth guide you to make it your own! This dessert offers a lot of flavors with surprisingly few simple steps done in a flash.
This recipe can use any type of pear available. Although there are a few varieties that are considered to be the finest for baking. The Bosc and Anjou varieties are particularly good at keeping their form and texture. Bartletts and other types will suffice in a pinch. Comice, on the other hand, is not recommended for cooking. It has soft and luscious flesh which tends to come apart when baked. If you’ve seen smaller pears, such as Seckel and Forelle, these are suitable for cooking but require more time to peel and core due to their size.
Pears are a tasty, low-calorie snack that's also packed with hard-to-find nutrients. Pears are high in fiber, which keeps you full and keeps your heart and intestines in good shape. They are abundant in antioxidants, which can lower your risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and even dementia.
This dish is straightforward and easy to follow, even for novice cooks. It's the kind of dessert that can be whipped up on a relaxing afternoon, may it be by yourself, for your family, or for a dinner party with friends.
Low-maintenance recipes like this are fantastic because even a beginner can simply follow the steps to create this picturesque dessert.
Serving this dessert warm is much tastier, but baked pears are still delicious when eaten cold.
Yes. The pears can be baked ahead of time and stored in the fridge. You can serve them cold or reheat them gently in the microwave before serving.
