How to Serve Maple Vanilla Baked Pears

These baked pears are incredibly versatile. Serve them:

For breakfast: Top with granola and a drizzle of cream.
As dessert: Add a scoop of homemade vanilla or cinnamon ice cream instead of the yogurt.
For a special brunch: Pair with sourdough pancakes and a mug of hot coffee.

Store leftover baked pears in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a warm oven or enjoy them cold straight from the fridge. The flavors deepen as they sit, making them even more delicious the next day.
