Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). I don't line my baking sheet when I make these, but you absolutely can with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
- Cut pears in half, then cut a small sliver off the underside so the pears sit flat when placed upright on the baking sheet. See video above for visual. Using a large or medium cookie scoop or melon baller (or even a teaspoon), core out the seeds. Arrange pears, facing up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with cinnamon- feel free to add more cinnamon if you'd like.
- Whisk the maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle most of it all over the pears, reserving about 2 Tablespoons for after the pears are finished baking.
- Bake pears for about 25 minutes until soft and lightly browned on the edges. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with remaining maple syrup mixture. Serve warm with granola and yogurt. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a cast iron skillet with coconut oil or avocado oil.
- If desired you can peel your pears. Slice each pear in half vertically through the stem. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds. You can leave the stem on for presentation if desired. Set aside.
- In a small glass whisk together the maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and almond extract (if using). Lightly brush all parts of each pear half with this mixture.
- Place the pears cut side down in the greased skillet. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Use tongs to flip the pears so the cut side is facing up. Bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and drizzle any leftover maple glaze overtop the pears. Serve hot or warm overtop vegan vanilla yogurt (I love Culina brand) or alongside vegan vanilla ice cream. Top with chopped homemade candied pecans or homemade cinnamon-vanilla granola. Serve with coconut whipped cream if desired.
- Store leftover baked pear separate from the garnishes. Place the pears in an airtight container once they have fully cooled to room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears for baking. This will help them hold their shape in the oven.
- Use a variety of pears for different flavors and textures. Some good options include Bartlett, Bosc, Anjou, and Comice.
- Peel the pears before baking. This will help the pears cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Core the pears using a melon baller or an apple corer. This will create a cavity for the filling.
- Fill the pears with your favorite fillings. Some popular options include nuts, dried fruits, cheese, and chocolate.
- Bake the pears in a preheated oven until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of pears and the size of the pears.
- Serve the pears warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt.
