Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 4 pieces Bosc Pears (A perfect choice for roasting.)

Liquids & Sweeteners

  • 0.5 cup apple cider (Fresh-pressed is ideal.)
  • 2 tbsp real grade A maple syrup (Elevates the dish.)

Dairy

  • 4 tbsp butter (Adds richness.)

Spices

  • Cinnamon (Use to taste.)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for roasting.
  2. Warm Apple Cider: Heat the apple cider or fresh-pressed apple juice in the microwave for about 1 minute until warm.
  3. Melt Butter: Stir the butter into the warm cider mixture until fully melted, creating a smooth liquid glaze.
  4. Prepare Pears: Halve the Bosc pears and carefully scoop out the seeds and core from each half.
  5. Arrange Pears: Place the pear halves cut-side up in a small baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  6. Add Glaze and Spice: Pour the cider-butter mixture evenly over the pears and sprinkle cinnamon to taste on top.
  7. Drizzle Maple Syrup: Drizzle the real grade A maple syrup over each pear half generously for sweetness.
  8. Bake and Baste: Bake the pears in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, basting them with the pan juices every 10 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.
  9. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve your Roasted Maple Pears warm to enjoy the full richness of flavors.

Notes

  • Use Bosc pears as they hold their shape well during roasting and develop a sweet, caramelized flavor.
  • Fresh-pressed apple cider adds depth but apple juice can be a substitute if unavailable.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to your preference for a spicier or subtler taste.
  • Basting the pears every 10 minutes helps keep them tender and infused with the glaze.
  • This dessert pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
