Melt-in-the-mouth soft and naturally sweet, these cinnamon-spiced warm pears make an incredibly comforting winter snack for babies and toddlers. Prepared in just one skillet!
Wash, peel, and core the pears. Cut them into thick wedges for younger babies (6-9 months) or bite-sized cubes for older babies and toddlers.
Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the pear pieces to the skillet, stirring gently with a wooden spoon to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are completely soft and fork-tender. Add a splash of water if the pan gets too dry.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the warm pears, toss gently to combine, and let them cool to a safe, warm temperature before serving.
Yes, for older toddlers you can leave the skin on for extra fiber. However, peeling is highly recommended for babies under 12 months to prevent gagging and for easier mashing.
Keep the cooked pears in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be served chilled or gently reheated on the stove.
Absolutely! Cooked pears freeze beautifully for up to 2 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
