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.

Tried this on my family a few years ago after dinner and they loved it. A little too sweet so we cut the brown sugar in half and it was perfect. Kids thought it tasted like apple streudel. The brandy we used is called Applejack.
