Easy Pear Cobbler Recipe

Course Dessert
Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

**For the Topping:**

  • 1½ cups of all-purpose flour scoop and level
  • ½ cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 stick ½ cup of cold unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 cup of milk

**For the Filling:**

  • 4 large pears peeled, cored, and sliced into thin wedges
  • 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon of nutmeg
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  • In a big mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients, and with a pastry cutter or two knives, create a mixture resembling coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in the milk until the dough just comes together; a bit lumpy is perfect!
  • Prepare the pears by peeling, coring, and slicing them into thin wedges.
  • In a baking or casserole dish, arrange the pear slices evenly, then sprinkle flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt on top. Toss together to coat the fruit.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough on top of the pears, covering them as much as possible.
  • Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, and the pears are tender.
  • Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, and for an extra treat, top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
