Pear Cobbler

My neighbor has a couple pear trees and every year, for a few weeks in August, every time I pass his house (I walk by it like 5 times a day) he jumps out at me asking if want some pears. I always say yes, even if it is just one or two. How can I pass up free pears?

The last batch of pears I got from him were a little on the meh side, like at the point were you wouldn’t really enjoy eating them raw but are still good for baking which is fine by me and the reason I made a cobbler. Well that and the mr asked me to. (#1 girlfriend here!)

So here is it. A pretty basic pear cobbler which is to say a pretty fantastic pear cobbler. It is like a pear pie but with a biscuity top instead of a pie crust. And thats it, nothing fancy, just straight up pear goodness.

You know you want it so just make it.

Now to the cobbler.

The stuff. Pears, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, plant milk, oil, noise sugar, cinnamon and alittle more flour, apple cider vinegar, and little plant butter.

clean, core, and slice up pears.not to small and roughly the same size.

Butter a baking, dump in the pears and toss with sugar, cinnamon, and a little flour. Place in oven while preheating to start the pears cooking.

Now biscuits. Mix all the dry together then add in the oil and milk, Gently fold just until the wet and dry are incorporated . Place mixture in fridge while pears cook.

Once the oven is preheated and the pears have had a time to cook a bit, grab the cold biscuit dough from fridge and carefully grab the pears from the oven.

Drop biscuit dough on top of the hot pears, sprinkle with the raw sugar, and pop it the whole shebang back into the oven for another half hour or so.

Raspberry Rhubarb Cobbler

April 27, 2019 Colleen Stem

I found another bag of frozen rhubarb in the chest freezer which is never a bad thing, but my rhubarb patch outside is growing strong and I will have all the fresh rhubarb I could possible eat within the next few weeks. So found rhubarb just means I need to eat it right fast before the fresh stuff comes in. (I haven’t had a problem with that. it’s almost gone already). Plus the other day while I was digging up and transplanting raspberry bushes to the back yard, my neighbor came over and gave me a gallon of frozen raspberries, harvested from said bushes that I was currently planting in my yard. Score for me! Free bushes and berries…I have such nice neighbors.

So the logical thing to do with my new found and giving bounty was of course to hurry up and bake something. Cobbler. Why cobbler? Well, why not? I figured the mr would really like it and eat it and I also didn’t want to make anything to fussy because I was just to dang busy spending all of my extra time outside doing outside things. And cobbler, it’s not fussy because it is basically biscuits and jam baked up all together. Not a lot to think about and comes out looking all homey and sweet and smelling all nice and cozy. Doesn’t that sound nice? And not a pain in the ass?

And best part. A made cobbler works as dessert or breakfasts or just a snack. Just asked the mr. He ate it for all the reasons. With a dollop of yogurt or cream of course because he is fancy like that.

And yeah the fruit I used was frozen, but fresh works just the same here too.

Now, lets get to that cobbler.

The stuff. Raspberries (frozen), rhubarb (frozen), sugar, flour, salt, baking power, cinnamon ,almond milk, apple cider vinegar, cornstarch, and oil.

IMG_7777.jpg

Raspberries, rhubarb, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch. Its all there in the bowl. Just needs to be mixed. So mix it.

IMG_7781.jpg

Dump fruit mixture into well greased 8 inch pan and pop it into a hot oven to get a head start on baking.

IMG_7797 2.jpg
IMG_7802.jpg

While the fruits in the oven, make the biscuit dough. Mix the dry together then mix in the wet until just incorporated and a sticky dough forms.

IMG_7805.jpg

Pulled from the oven, the fruit is starting to cook down and whoa, it just smells so good!

IMG_7816.jpg

Drop on the biscuits dough on top of the fruit (careful of the hot pan). Evenly if possible, but don’t work to hard to make it look perfect. Imperfection makes it look perfect, you know?

Once biscuits are on, lightly brush the tops with a little milk and sprinkle with more sugar then pop it back into the oven for another 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are baked.

Pulled from the oven with a bubbly filling and a golden brown biscuity top. Things are looking good here.

And now it’s time.

Dig on in my friend. Sever with something creamy like whipped coconut cream or some type of yogurt or ice cream situation of your choice. And again, this can be your breakfast.

Happy spring people!

Raspberry Rhubarb Cobbler

make a a 8 inch round which serves 5-6

For the Filling

  • 2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 cups rhubarb chopped into 1/2 inch to inch long pieces (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch

  • 3/4 -1 cup sugar (lesser amount if you like a little more tartness. I used lesser amount)

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the dough

  • 1 cups all purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 3 tablespoons neutral flavored oil

  • 1/2 cup plant based milk

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl mix together the rhubarb and raspberries with the corn starch, sugar, and cinnamon. Grease a 8 inch round pan the is at least 2 inches deep (can use a slightly large pan or a square) and dump in fruit mixture. Place into oven to bake for about 15 minutes or the fruit starts to break down.

While fruit is baking, mix up biscuit dough. Flour, salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and baking powder go in a large bowl and mixed until combined. Add in the oil, the milk, and the vinegar. Mix until just incorporated and a dough has formed.

Remove the fruit cooking from the oven. Turn heat up to 375.

Carefully drop spoonfuls of biscuit batter on top of fruit. Brush the top of the biscuits with a little milk and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are all nice and golden brown on top.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop or dollop of soothing creamy (coconut cream, yogurt, ice cream…..whatever floats your boat.)

Left overs can be stored in pan, just cover it with something and place in fridge. Can be eaten cold to or reheated in microwave or oven.
