CROSTATA DI PERE E MASCARPONE

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cut the pears in half and remove the core.

In a bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice until smooth.

Place the pear halves cut side up in a baking dish.

Spoon the mascarpone mixture generously over each pear half.

Sprinkle chopped walnuts and dried cranberries on top of the pears.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the pears are tender and slightly caramelized.

Serve warm as a dessert.
