Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  • In a baking dish, lay the cookies in two rows, frosting side up.
  • In a small bowl, mix the blue cheese, apricots, and walnuts together. Set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the pairs in half lengthwise. Carefully peel and core each pear half. Trim a small slice from the rounded back of every pear so that the fruit will lay flat. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
  • Place each pear half flat side down on a cookie. Fill the empty cores with the blue cheese mixture and mold more over the tops.
  • Drizzle the molasses over the six pear halves.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 3-5 minutes or until the apricots are caramelized, the walnuts are lightly browned, and the cheese is slightly melted.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with a glass of red wine or port.
