2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups granola (granola containing dried cranberries and almonds is recommended)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 9x13 glass baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
Add the pear halves, rounded side down.
Drizzle the pears with lemon juice and fill with granola; set aside.
In a small saucepan (or microwave oven), heat the maple syrup and the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Spoon the mixture evenly over the prepared pears.
