BAKED PEARS WITH FRUIT AND NUT STUFFING

1/2 c. finely chopped dried apricots
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1/4 tsp. cinnamon pinch nutmeg
1/2 c. butter, softened
4 large firm ripe pears
1/2 c. pure maple syrup
Vanilla Yogurt

Combine apricots, pecans and 1 Tbsp butter with fork. Set aside. Cut pears in half lengthwise and remove core, leaving 1 1/2” hole. Place in 9” microwave-safe baking dish, placing narrow ends in center to make a circle. (Cut a thin slice from bottom to make a steady base.) Fill each pear with apricot mixture. Set aside. Melt rest of butter and maple syrup. Stir to combine well and pour over pears. Cover pears loosely with wax paper and microwave about 6 minutes on high or until pears are tender. Baste pears with sauce halfway through cooking time. Let stand 10 minutes before serving warm with Yogurt.
