Pear Cobbler

Travis's Aunt Becky gave us a whole bunch of ripe, juicy pears and I think this was a great use of them! This cobbler was not only super easy to make but was also delicious and I had the rest of the ingredients in my pantry. You could easily substitute apples instead of pears.

Ingredients:

2 to 2 1/2 cups sliced fresh pears
2 cups sugar, divided
4 ounces butter
3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 egg

Preparation:

Mix pears with 1 cup sugar and let stand. Put butter in 2-quart casserole and place in 325° oven until melted. Combine all dry ingredients, including the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Mix well. Whisk together the milk and egg; slowly combine with dry ingredients to make a batter. Pour over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon pears over the batter. Do not stir. Bake at 325° for 50 to 60 minutes, or until nicely browned and pears are tender.

Serve hot or cold with ice cream or whipped cream.
