Step

Of 2

Prepare Pears

Peel the pears, and dice into cubes of 1cm.  
In large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat without allowing butter to brown.  Add pears, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tbs lemon juice.  
If the pears are relatively mature, you can cook them for 5 minutes over medium heat.  If the pears are firm, add 1/2c water and allow to cook until pears are softened and there aren't any excess liquids in the pan.  Allow to cool.

Assemble the Dish

Take 4 small cups (clear glass is ideal for presentation, possibly wide and low-rimmed, or even an ice cream dish would be suitable).   
Divide yogurt into equal portions into the cups.  Add a generous drizzle of honey on top of the yogurt. 
Layer cooked pears on top of the honey, shake a bit of cinnamon powder on top of the pears, and serve prepared cups on top of dessert plates (for appearance).
