Our simple baked pears recipe transforms extraordinary pears into a unprecedented dessert. You’ll love these caramelized, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth pears, particularly with some ice or whipped cream on high!
These roasted pears are a show-stopping dessert! We begin by caramelizing them in butter with a contact of sugar, then end them within the oven with a splash of white wine, star anise, and cinnamon for an irresistible aroma and taste.
You’ll be left with outrageously scrumptious pears and a kitchen that smells like a dream!

Key Substances
- Pears: I like Bosc pears for this recipe because the flesh is normally a bit extra agency to the contact than different varieties. Any pear will work, however firmer ones will maintain higher when roasting within the oven.
- Sugar: To realize that lovely golden brown and caramelized crust, I mud the pears with powdered sugar earlier than cooking them in butter.
- Butter: I’m not all the time within the butter makes the whole lot higher camp, however with these roasted pears, it actually does! I take advantage of salted or unsalted butter. Should you use unsalted, add an additional pinch of salt to the dish.
- Wine: The wine simmers and reduces into a light-weight syrup you possibly can spoon over the pears for serving. I like an off-dry white wine (like Reisling). If you wish to forgo the wine, no downside. Use apple cider, apple juice, or pear juice as an alternative.
- Spices: I like tossing a complete star anise and cinnamon stick into the skillet, which fragrance the pears.
