Caramelized Pears with Cinnamon and Honey

1Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2Add the brown sugar (½ cup) and stir until it dissolves and begins to bubble.

3Add the sliced pears to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the caramel mixture.

4Sprinkle the ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon) over the pears and continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender and caramelized.

5Drizzle the honey (¼ cup) over the pears and stir to combine, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

6If using, add the chopped walnuts and stir to combine, allowing them to toast slightly in the caramel.

7Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

8Serve warm over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
