Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom of a 9 X 13 baking dish.
- Peel the pears, halve and core them. You can core them with a melon baller, with a metal measuring spoon, or with a paring knife, as I do in the video below. I like to leave the stems on - they make for a pretty presentation. But you can cut them off if you wish. You can also shave a thin slice off the bottom of each pear half, enabling them to stay upright in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Brush the pears with the mixture on both sides.
- Arrange the pears in the prepared baking dish, cut side down. Bake them until fork-tender, about 30 minutes per side, basting every 15 minutes with the pan juices.
- Brush the pears one last time with the pan juices and serve warm.

Tips:

- Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears have different flavors and textures, so using a mix can create a more interesting dish.
- Peel and core the pears carefully: Use a sharp knife to peel the pears and remove the cores without damaging the flesh.
- Make sure the pears are evenly coated in the butter and sugar mixture: This will help them caramelize and brown evenly.
- Bake the pears until they are tender but still hold their shape: The baking time will vary depending on the variety of pear and the ripeness of the fruit.
- Serve the pears warm or at room temperature: They can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of honey.
