This is a delicious and nutritious dessert. It only takes a few minutes to prepare to boot! The cinnamon is warming and great for blood sugar and digestion. I leave the peel on the pears for extra fiber and texture. If you have difficulty with yogurt, I like to substitute with a nut butter like cashew or macadamia. For baby food, I would leave out the honey and just bake a ripe pear with a little cinnamon and orange juice. I made this for Etta and she loved it!
