At the Caring Place Community Kitchen, Minoo shared a Pear Cobbler recipe. She was away at Sunshine Coast for the weekend and she picked some pears from her girl friend’s neighbour’s pear tree. You may replace the pear with apple.
The Pear Cobbler is best served warm with ice-cream. I love the cinnamon in it.
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 stick butter (1/4 cup)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup honey or Maple syrup
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Filing:
- 8 large pears, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup honey or Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
- 1/4 teaspoon mace (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon grated orange or lemon rind

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
 Minoo uses a flour blend which is a mixture of white and wheat bran. This is more healthier than the all-purpose flour. |
 Combine the flour, oats and walnuts in a bowl. |
 In a medium sized pot, melt the butter. Remove from heat and add the honey. Stir to mix. Add the flour mixture and mix with a fork until crumbly. |
 Add the raisins, honey, orange rind and cinnamon powder to the pear slices and mix well. |
 In a buttered pan, evenly spread the pear mixture. |
 Top with crust mixture.Alternatively, you may use half of the crust to line the bottom of the pan, fill with the pear mixture and top with the rest of the crust mixture. Or you can use all the crust mixture as the base and top with the pear mixtures.
Bake in a 350 preheated oven for 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, alone or with vanilla ice-cream. |
I tried this recipe and it was delicious. I especially enjoyed the layout with the pictures and directions, it made it very easy for me to follow.
Thank you.
i’ve never tried pear cobbler-but your photos have convinced me. this looks great!
I used dried cranberries in place of raisins, really gave it a zing and was prettier than raisins. Good recipe, I have a pear tree and am always looking for new ways to use them.
