Baked pear or apple with honey is a simple and healthy dessert popular in European and Russian home cooking. Baking preserves the vitamins and natural sweetness of the fruit, while honey, nuts or butter add richness. The dish is often served as a finish to dinner or a light breakfast. Apples (especially tart varieties like "Simirenko" or "Granny Smith") and pears (firm, not overripe) are baked with a filling of honey, sugar, nuts, dried fruit, sour cream or butter. Classic serving — with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.

Wash the fruit, remove the core with a narrow cone-shaped cut (removing the seeds). Place in a baking dish and fill the cavity with filling: honey, sugar, chopped nuts, a piece of butter or sour cream — as desired. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for about 30 minutes until the fruit is soft. Serve warm or chilled, can be with honey or yogurt.
