Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
For Fruit:
- 4 cups frozen blueberries
- 4 medium pears, peeled and chopped
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tbs. butter
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup four
For Cobbler Topping:
- 2 cups flour, sifted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup, plus 2 Tbs. brown sugar
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) butter, melted
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°
- Melt the butter in your cast iron skillet over medium heat then add the peeled and chopped pears, blueberries, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together well.
- Continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently until the sugar and flour have dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- To prepare your cobbler topping add flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl and combine.
- Add melted butter and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. (You’ll want some of those large clumps for a good texture on your cobbler.)
- Add all of the cobbler mixture to the top of your fruit mixture in the cast iron skillet and place in the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes or until fruit filling is bubbly and cobbler topping has browned a bit.
- Serve hot out of the oven or at room temp and enjoy all of the cozy flavors of fall!
PRO TIP: Top with vanilla ice cream for an extra layer of goodness!
