1/3 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked
1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar

2 teaspoons all purpose flour

I was disappointed with this recipe. The pears were not as tender as I expected and the hazelnut filling was bland. The maple glaze was also too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pears turned out great! I used Bosc pears and they held their shape well. The hazelnut filling was delicious and the maple glaze added a nice touch of sweetness. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

I tried this recipe for a dinner party and it was a hit! The pears were beautiful and everyone loved the combination of flavors. The only thing I would change is to use a little less maple syrup in the glaze, as it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
