Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Stuffed Pears

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish lightly.
Halve each pear and scoop out the core and seeds, creating a cavity for the filling.
Combine chopped nuts, cinnamon, honey, and optional dried fruits in a mixing bowl. Stir until well coated.
Stuff the nut filling into each pear half, pressing gently.
Bake the pears for 30 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Serve warm, optionally drizzling with honey and adding vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
