Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Pear Filling
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently until the pears are well coated. This mixture will create a sweet and spiced filling.
- Transfer the pear mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Make the Cobbler Topping
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. This dry mix will provide the structure for the topping.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. This will keep the topping light and fluffy.
- Pour the cobbler batter over the pear filling, spreading it gently to cover the fruit.
Prepare the Crumble Topping
- In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cold cubed butter, and ground cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This will create a crunchy topping.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cobbler batter.
Bake the Cobbler
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures that both the topping and filling are cooked through.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the filling set slightly.
