Baked Pear Dessert

(Firinda Armut Tatlisi)

2 ripe Bartlett pears, cut in half, discard the seeds, cut off a thin slice of the bottom of each one, so that they can stand straight.
4 tsp golden or brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
8 walnuts, toasted

Spread 1 teaspoon brown sugar and cinnamon on each pear. Place them on an oven tray side by side.

Preheat the oven 400 F (200 C). Bake for about 30-35 minutes. Place them in a service plate. Then serve this dessert with a dollop of ice cream and sprinkle some roasted walnuts over the top.

I suggest you to serve this dessert with a spoon. While eating, make sure to get some pear, walnuts, ice cream and syrup with each spoon:)

4 servings.
