Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe pears
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel, core, and slice the pears into 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the pears are evenly coated.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the pear mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are slightly softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
Pour the melted butter (0.25 cup) into a 9x9-inch baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom.
Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the cooked pear mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not mix; the batter will rise around the pears as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
