(Baked pears with cinnamon and brown sugar)

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Peel the pears, halve them lengthwise, and core them. Brush the pears with lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Place the pears in a non-stick roasting pan, cut side up. Place the cinnamon, sugar, and low-fat margarine in a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring constantly until the sugar melts. Drizzle the mixture over the pears. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until soft and golden brown, basting occasionally with the sugar mixture. Heat the vanilla sauce and divide it between 4 dessert plates. Place 2 pear halves on each plate and garnish with strips of lemon zest to serve.
