Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, toss pears with lemon juice and vanilla.
In 13x9-inch pan, melt 2/3 cup butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar, walnuts and cinnamon over melted butter. Arrange pears in pan.

Bake 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around side of pan to loosen cake.
