We’ve been enjoying fresh pears off the tree and I’ve been doing a bit of baking with them as well. So today I’m sharing my recipe for pear cobbler. It’s quick and easy to make with simple ingredients.
Recipe for Pear Cobbler:
- 3 recipes pie dough
- 12 cups sliced pears
- 1 cup maple syrup
- scant 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup milk
Make your pie dough and hold 1/3 back. Use the other 2/3’s to line a glass 9×13 pan. I used coconut oil instead of butter in my pie dough. It’s a little trickier to use oil, but if your coconut oil is in a semi-hard state and you use ice cold water, it works fine. However, if you can use butter, I recommend doing so. 🙂
Pour the sliced pears into your pie crust dough lined pan. Then, mix the maple syrup, flour, cinnamon, and ginger together and pour over the pears. Roll out the remaining pie dough and place it on top. I don’t seal the edges or anything, in fact, the dough doesn’t go quite to the edge and that’s fine.
Brush the milk over the top of the dough. I used Silk coconut milk instead of dairy milk and it worked fine.
Bake 50 minutes to an hour. You want your pear filling to be bubbling and the top crust to be a beautiful flaky brown.
This delicious recipe for pear cobbler is best, when a big ol’ scoop of ice cream is added to a fresh out of the oven serving of the cobbler. If you don’t have ice cream, milk works great!
**On a side note, I made one recipe of pie filling and cut my recipe to a 1/3 and made a pie for a potluck. Worked great!**
Yay! Perfect! As you know, we have that pear tree out back and I am always looking for new recipes . This looks so good! I am pinning it!
Kendra, I think I absolutely have to make this for my husband! He loves pears, but I’ve never been a big fan and sadly don’t use them very often. It would be a special treat for him. Thanks for sharing!
I love pears and Jason doesn’t really, yet he will chow down this cobbler. You may really like it too 🙂
Looks and sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
This sounds delicious and definitely happening at our house very soon!
I clicked on this expecting something different, I find it fascinating how recipes differ across the world. Our version of cobbler in the UK is a stewed fruit base with a scone (biscuit) style topping like dumplings that when cooked look like the cobble stones of old London. This is certainly a lovey recipe though so will be giving it a try
