Delicious Pear or Apple Cobbler Recipe

This warm and comforting pear or apple cobbler is the perfect dessert to enjoy on a cozy evening. Made with fresh pears or apples, warm spices, and a buttery biscuit topping, it's a simple yet indulgent treat. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

• 4-5 ripe pears or apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 cup milk
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears or apples, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss well to coat the fruit evenly with the sugar and spices.
3. Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Pour in the milk and stir until the dough comes together. It should be slightly sticky.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto the fruit mixture in the baking dish, covering it as much as possible.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve the pear or apple cobbler warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
