While it’s easy to get carried away with lattice pie crust and whipped cream, it’s nice to keep things simple in the dessert department. In this recipe, pears do all the talking. They are cooked in the Hamilton Beach® roaster oven with pecans and a mixture apple juice, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (Y.U.M). Serve this beautiful, no frills dessert at a fall dinner party or pear-ed with your after dinner coffee on special occasions.
