Peel the pear, ensuring to maintain as much of the original shape as possible. Slice the pear in half lengthwise, and scoop out the core of each half.
Place each half in a bowl with the water and lemon juice. In a deep frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Just as the butter has melted, place each pear half in the pan sliced side down.
Mix the cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Sprinkle and rub the sugar mixture over each pear half. Drizzle the vanilla and maple extract over each pear half. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the orange juice over the pears.
Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for 5 minutes. You want to make a slight reduction of the juice, sugar and butter in the pan. Just as the mixture gets bubbly, add the vodka.
