Chef's Note
For the best texture, use Bosc or Anjou pears; they are firm enough to hold their shape in the pan without turning into sauce.

Ingredients
2 whole firm-ripe pears
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons raw walnuts
1 pinch salt
Instructions
- 1
Wash 2 firm-ripe pears, then peel them if desired, cut in half to remove the core, and slice into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
- 2
Roughly chop 2 tablespoons of raw walnuts using a kitchen knife.
- 3
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until it begins to foam.
- 4
Add the 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts to the skillet and toast for 2 minutes until they smell nutty and fragrant.
- 5
Place the pear slices in the skillet in a single layer and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 pinch of salt.
- 6
Sauté the pears for 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes until they are golden brown and slightly softened.
- 7
Pour 1/4 cup of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over the pears in the pan.
- 8
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 7 minutes, frequently spooning the liquid over the fruit, until the pears are tender and the syrup is thick and bubbly.
- 9
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the warm pears and walnuts immediately in small bowls.
