Ingredients
Pear Filling
- 5 cups thinly sliced pears (from about 5 pears)*
- ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coarse sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly butter or grease a 9x9 baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss together pears, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Put the pears in the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Make the cobbler topping: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract and, using a wooden spoon, stir until mixture is just combined into a soft dough.
- Scoop the cobbler dough over the pear filling in the baking dish, using about 2 tablespoon for each dollop. Sprinkle dough with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 35 minutes, until the cobbler topping is turning golden on top. Place under the broiler for another minute to get it even more golden.
Notes
*If you don't like any crunch to your pears, you may want to cook the slices in butter for a few minutes before adding them to the baking dish. I slice my pears thinly (about ¼") and don't pre-cook them because I like a little crunch.
