So good and easy! I made this a bit different, as another reviewer, I made the caramel sauce, then poached the pears (sliced) in the sauce. Then topped as directed. I would definitely use the almonds, as they provided great taste and texture to this very light and yummy dessert.

YUM this was good. Everyone enjoyed these. I followed the recipe as written other then I used butter instead of margarine as I don't buy margarine. I also didn't add the almonds as I didn't have any. We all enjoyed this!

The flavor and simplicity of this is great, but baking it in the oven didn't really work for me - the sauce burned up - so I started over and sort of poached the pear in the microwave, made the sauce in the microwave and then put the whole thing together - tasted wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
