Pear Cobbler Recipe

This pear cobbler recipe is:

• vegan
• simple to make

It’s no secret that we love fruity desserts in our home, my Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble is a tradition come spring. As well as my Apple Crumble Bars in the fall.

But what I really love about this recipe is that it can be made all year round, using canned pears as the base. Which also speeds up the bake time as it’s using pre-cooked pears.

All-in-all it’s a quick and easy recipe that’s just as scrumptious as a fruity crumble or crisp.

What’s the difference between a cobbler, crumble and crisp?

I feel I must address this very valid question before I get into the recipe. What’s the actual difference between a cobbler, crumble and crisp?

Well, let’s start with how they’re similar… what these desserts have in common is that they consist of a fruity base, that bubbles into ooey-goeey deliciousness when baked.

What makes them different is the topping:

Cobblers: Have a biscuit topping. The biscuits are usually dropped onto the fruit in small rounds, giving it the appearance of a cobbled road – hence the name.

Crumbles and Crisps: Okay, so these are essentially the same thing. Confusing right? The name “crumble” or “crisp” is depends on the country of origin. “Crumble” is more commonly referred to in England, while “Crisp” is what they call it in North American (U.S. and Canada). Both contain fresh fruit with a crumbly streusel-like topping (often made with oats), which is baked until the fruit is cooked and bubbling.

How to make Pear Cobbler:

Lucky for you, this pear cobbler is SO easy to make! We’ll start by preparing the filling and topping in separate bowls.

The filling:

The filling for this recipe uses canned pears, which speeds up bake time tremendously so that you have a bubbling, crispy and golden cobbler in just 30 minutes!

To make the filling: Combine the cane sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, salt, lemon zest lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Pour in the pear slices and gently stir everything to combine. Pour into your baking dish and set aside.

The topping:

Now for the biscuit topping! I like to describe the taste and flavour of the topping similar to a scone! It’s light, airy and biscuit-like. Made similar to a scone as well by combining flour, vegan butter, sugar, salt and baking powder.

I prefer to make the topping in my food processo. Add the dry ingredients for the topping into the food processor (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vegan butter) and pulse until crumbly in texture. You can also do this by hand by massaging the ingredients in a mixing bowl until crumbly.

Pour the crumbly dough in a small mixing bowl, make a well in the middle and pour in the coconut cream. Fold together to combine.

Baking the pear cobbler:

Once you have your filling and topping made, you can combine them.

Scoop heaping tablespoons of the cobbler topping over the pear filling in an 8×11-inch baking dish.

The goal is to scoop round tablespoons of the filling to make a cobble road pattern which gives the cobbler its infamous name!

Bake in the oven until the top is golden brown and the sides are bubbling, 35 minutes.

And that’s all there is too it! I told you it was an easy recipe. And you’d never know it given how sweet and scrumptious it is.
