Baked Pears with Streusel Filling
This breakfast or brunch dish requires surprisingly little effort. Prepare the streusel up to two days in advance, stirring in the pecans just before baking to preserve their texture.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
To prepare streusel, lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (through allspice) in a bowl. Stir with a fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in pecans.
Step 3
To prepare pears, using a melon baller or spoon, scoop out core from each pear half. Spoon streusel evenly into pear halves. Place pear halves, cut sides up, in an 8-inch square baking dish. Pour apple juice and apple brandy into dish. Cover dish with foil. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 5 minutes. Serve pears warm. Drizzle evenly with cooking liquid.

RenoTX's Review
This is a very elegant dessert. I liked the topping OK, but it was gooey-er than I expected. Probably due to the honey. I couldn't find any apple brandy at the liquor store, so I just used apple juice. The pears came out a little bland. Next time, I'll try it with plain brandy if I can't find any apple brandy. I may also try it without the honey, to see if we like the texture of the topping a little better that way.
