  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

    Mix 1/3 cup brown sugar, water, and lemon juice together in an ungreased baking dish until sugar is dissolved. Place pear halves into the dish with the flat sides facing down; baste with sauce. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

    Bake in the preheated oven until pears are fork-tender but not mushy, 20 to 25 minutes.

    Meanwhile, mix walnuts, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons brandy, and yogurt together in a small bowl.

    Beat cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Add white sugar and 2 teaspoons of brandy; gently whip a few strokes more to incorporate.

    Flip warm pear halves and transfer to serving plates. Fill cavities with nut stuffing and top with whipped cream. Spoon remaining cooking sauce over top.
