Baked Cinnamon & Maple Pears


Who doesn’t love a healthy yet decadent dessert? These baked pears are so soft and juicy, and paired with the yoghurt, it makes for a nourishing and creamy treat that’s perfect served hot to warm yourself up during cooler months. If it’s summer in your corner of the globe, simply serve it chilled – it’s just as delicious.
