Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for fruit)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced pears with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract just until the mixture comes together; do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the pear mixture, leaving small gaps between the mounds.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use firm but ripe pears for the best texture after baking.
  • For extra warmth, add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to the fruit.
  • If you prefer crispier topping edges, spread the topping evenly instead of dropping spoonfuls.
