Ingredients
  

Cobbler Batter
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup milk
Spiced Pear Filling
  • 5 cups peeled and sliced pears about 5 medium pears
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves

Method
 

Cobbler Batter
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish liberally.
  2. Pour the melted butter into the prepared dish, sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over it, and drizzle vanilla extract on top.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; stir in milk until just combined—batter should be thick.
  4. Spoon the batter evenly over the sugar layer in the baking dish without smoothing completely.
Spiced Pear Filling
  1. In a large bowl, toss the sliced pears with brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves.
  2. Spoon the pear mixture evenly over the batter; do not stir to allow layers to form.
  3. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top turns golden and the filling bubbles along the edges.
  4. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Slice pears uniformly to ½-inch thick to ensure even baking and tender texture.
For a twist, swap half the pears with tart apples to add extra tang and color contrast.
