Begin by washing and peeling the pears, then cut them in half and remove the core.

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar.

Add the cinnamon and nutmeg to the butter and sugar mixture.

Place the pear halves in the skillet, cut side down, and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Carefully flip the pears and let them cook for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the vanilla extract just before removing the pan from heat.

Transfer the caramelized pears to a serving dish and enjoy them warm.
