Pear & Apple Cobbler

PEAR & APPLE COBBLER

It definitely has been a while since I've posted a recipe. I attribute that to it being summer and no one wants to be in a hot kitchen during the summer. I've been cooking and baking less due to the heat. I also have been trying to cut down the sweets and fatty foods. But Sunday is our cheat day. So I made a cobbler to celebrate. Anyway, the recipe is as follows!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Butter or nonstick spray, for baking dish
• 2 1/2 cups peeled, cored and sliced Granny Smith apples
• 2 1/2 cups peeled, cored and sliced Bosc pears
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinammon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided

 Topping:

• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Ice cream, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 31 x 23 cm baking dish.
Toss the apples, pears, sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the butter together in a large bowl. Add to the prepared baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.

In another bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, salt, egg, and 2 tablespoons of butter. With a spoon, drop the topping onto the apples and top with remaining pats of butter.

Bake until the crust is golden and the fruit is tender the cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and I hope all that try this recipe enjoy it just as much as we did.
