Cinnamon Roll Stuffed Pears Recipes

CINNAMON ROLL-STUFFED PEARS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Halve the pears lengthwise and scoop out the centers with a tablespoon to make a cavity that will fit a cinnamon roll. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each pear half so the pears sit flat. Arrange the pears on a rimmed baking sheet and fit a cinnamon roll into each cavity. Sprinkle the pears and cinnamon rolls with the sugar.
• Bake until the pears are tender and the cinnamon rolls are puffed and golden, about 20 minutes.
• Empty the icing packet into a small bowl and add the lemon juice, cinnamon and cloves. Stir to make a smooth glaze.
• Drizzle the glaze over the pears and cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.

CINNAMON ROASTED PEARS WITH CIDER REDUCTION

Steps:

• Simmer the cider in a small saucepan until it becomes a thick, golden syrup, about 1 hour. Let cool until ready to serve.(The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Halve the pears lengthwise, and using melon baller, remove the seeds. Cut the halves in half lengthwise.
• Combine the honey, wine, and cinnamon in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Add the pears and toss to coat. Bake until lightly browned and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Serve the pears warm or at room temperature, surrounded by a "swoosh" of cider reduction.
