Ingredients

• 6 whole (medium-sized) ripe pears
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the pears into thin wedges, then place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the pears evenly with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the pears and spread them out in an even layer.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.

Step 8

Drop small spoonfuls of the dough over the top of the pears, creating an uneven cobbler topping that allows some of the pears to peek through.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pears are bubbly and tender.

Step 10

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
