Ingredients

• 4 ripe pears
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Peel the pears, core them, and slice them into thin, even wedges.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, toss the sliced pears with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and the ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 4

Place the butter in a 9-inch square or round baking dish and put it in the oven to melt. Keep a close eye on it to ensure it does not burn.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.

Step 7

Once the butter has melted, carefully remove the baking dish from the oven.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the dish. Do not stir.

Step 9

Spoon the pear mixture evenly over the batter, making sure to include any juices that have accumulated.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the pears are bubbling.

Step 11

Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
