Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Pears (ripe, peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 3 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears and apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the fruit is well coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined to form a soft dough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the fruit mixture, leaving a few small gaps for the fruit to bubble through.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
