Ingredients
  • 4 Pears
  • 4 tbsp Honey
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Lemon
  • 1 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tbsp Honey
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Peel and core the pears. Cut each half into 4-5 wedges. Arrange them in a baking dish in a single layer.

  3. 3

    Season the pears: Mix the honey and water until the honey dissolves. Add half a tablespoon of cinnamon powder to the honey and water mixture. Add the lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the pears and stir well to coat the pears.

  4. 4

    Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pears are softer but still hold their shape. They should NOT be completely soft. Start checking at 15-20 minutes and take them out of the oven as soon as they're to your liking. Drizzle with pan juices at least twice during baking time.

  5. 5

    Let cool a bit. You can then serve them warm or at room temperature.

  6. 6

    Yogurt: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of honey (mix evenly).

  7. 7

    Serve: Scoop the yogurt into 4 dessert cups and top with the pears and any remaining pan juices.
