Baked A'nju Pears in Butterscotch Schnapps Sauce

Submitted by Montana Heart Song

"Five to ten minutes prep, bake 35 minutes and serve warm with whipped cream. You may cool also and serve later. You may peel. slice and core. If you like the the peel, leave on the slices. I personally leave the peel on. A quick dessert for dinner guests. My DH wouldn't eat the A'nju pears plain, so I came up with this recipe. The alcohol cooks off so this is child friendly."

These were very good. I loved the butterscotch taste left by the schnapps. Very quick and easy to do.
