Pear & Apple Cobbler

Monday, October 3, 2011



With our recent relocation to the Northeast I've been enjoying the abundance of fall apples and pears. Our local farmer's market sells organic ones too! So I made a dessert for the family.

Ingredients:

2 to 2 1/2 cups sliced fresh pears, apples or a combination of both. I core the fruit but do not peel the skins off.
2 cups sugar, divided
4 ounces butter (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk (used rice milk)
1 egg

Preparation:
Mix pears/apples with 1 cup sugar and let stand. Put butter in 2-quart casserole (8" x 8" pan) and place in 325° oven until melted. Combine all dry ingredients, including the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Mix well. Whisk together the milk and egg; slowly combine with dry ingredients to make a batter. Pour over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon pears over the batter. Do not stir. Bake at 325° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until nicely browned. Serves well with ice-cream.
