2 servings
Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 firm ripe Bartlett pear, peeled
- 2 tsp. light brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp. reduced-calorie margarine
- 2 1/4 C. scoops fat-free sugar-free frozen vanilla yogurt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a small baking dish that is slightly larger than the pear halves laid side by side.
Halve the pear lengthwise and remove the core. Place pears, cut side down, on a board and cut each half crosswise into 5 or 6 even slices. Take care not to cut all the way through but retain the shape of the pear half.
Using a wide spatula, transfer pear halves to baking dish. Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over pears and dot each pear with half the margarine. Bake until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove pears from oven and transfer to 2 dessert plates. Serve with a scoop of yogurt.
