Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
-
4 pears, halved and cored
-
½ cup sour cream
-
¼ cup coarsely chopped toasted pistachios (or your favorite nuts)
Directions
-
Adjust the oven rack to the center position and heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butter in a baking pan large enough to hold pears in a single layer; set in the heating oven until it melts.
-
Sprinkle sugar over melted butter, then place pears, cut-side down, on top. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
-
Remove pan from oven, turn pears over and baste with pan sauce. Return to oven; bake until golden and glossy, about 10 minutes longer.
-
Let cool briefly. Transfer pears to dessert plates or bowls. Top each with a dollop of sour cream, drizzle with caramel pan sauce, sprinkle with nuts, and serve.
