Baked Pears

Ingredients

• 2 large pears
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut top quarter of pears off; create a well by scooping out the core, being careful not to puncture the bottom of the pear. Arrange pears in a shallow baking dish.

Drizzle maple syrup over pears. Place 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter in each pear; sprinkle with cinnamon.

Bake in preheated oven until pears are easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 50 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
