Ingredients

  • 2 Pears peeled (I used Stemilt Red D’Anjou)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon divided
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon rolled oats
  • Salt
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Melt the 1 tablespoon butter in a small saucepan (or in a small bowl over low heat in the microwave).
  • Once cooled add 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and then set aside.
  • Slice the pears in half from top to bottom (the long way).
  • Core the pears but using a melon baller or grapefruit spoon.
  • Spray a thin layer of cooking spray over the inside of a baking dish.
  • Place the pears in the baking dish, flat side up.
  • With a pastry brush, brush the pears with the melted butter and brown sugar mixture.
  • Cover the baking dish with tinfoil, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into cubes.
  • Add it to a bowl, along with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, flour, oats, and a pinch of salt.
  • Use a fork to blend the ingredients together.
  • After the pears have finished baking, remove the baking dish from the oven.
  • Use a fork to carefully spread the oat mixture over top of the pears.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
  • Place the baking dish back in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more.
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven.
  • Cool the pears for about 5 minutes before serving.
