Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan or 4 mini loaf pans, if you're giving them as holiday gifts!

In a small sacuepan, melt together the butter, syrup, and brown sugar over low heat. Gently stir to combine as the mixture melts. Set aside.

Arrange pear slices on top of the batter. Use a 9x9 cake pan or 4 mini loaf pans, if you want to give it to the neighbors as a holiday present! Bake until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the cake, 30 to 35 minutes
