Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe pears
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Place the pear slices into a large mixing bowl.
Add the fresh cranberries and chopped dried apricots to the bowl with the pears.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the fruit, then add the lemon juice. Toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined to form a thick batter.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit mixture. Spread slightly, but leave some gaps for the fruit to bubble through as it bakes.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
