Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe pears
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similarly sized oval dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges. Arrange the pear slices evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms. Set it aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Stir in the ground cinnamon and nutmeg.
Pour the prepared batter evenly over the pear slices in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it if necessary.
Sprinkle the beaten egg mixture over the batter. Then, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly on top to create a golden, caramelized crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
