Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced pears with granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add lemon juice and vanilla extract to the pear mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Pour the pear mixture into a 9-inch pie plate or an 8×8 inch baking dish. Add the water.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the rolled oats, if using.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pear mixture.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pear filling is bubbly.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm pears for the best texture.
- Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your pears.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cardamom to the spice mix.
- If the topping starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with foil.
