Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

Pear Filling
4 pounds Barlett pears, peeled, cored, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
Topping
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup half and half
6 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Half and half (optional)

Steps:

  • For Filling:
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine all ingredients except butter in large bowl. Transfer to deep 8 1/2x11-inch baking dish or other deep 12-cup dish. Dot top with butter. Bake until hot and bubbling, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare topping:
  • Sift first 4 ingredients into bowl. Add butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make well in center. Combine 3/4 cup half and half, bourbon and vanilla and add to well. Stir until batter is just combined; do not overmix. Working quickly, drop batter by tablespoons atop hot pear mixture, covering surface completely. Sprinkle with sugar-nutmeg mixture. Immediately return to oven and bake 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375°F. and continue baking until topping is golden and firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, pouring half and half over each serving, if desired.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I loved this cobbler. The bourbon really brings out the flavor of the pears.

This cobbler was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I probably won't make it again.

The cobbler topping was a bit dry. I would recommend adding a bit more butter to the recipe.

This cobbler was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, and my cobbler turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more sugar to the filling. Otherwise, it was perfect.

This pear and bourbon cobbler was an absolute delight! The filling was perfectly balanced, with the sweetness of the pears complementing the boozy warmth of the bourbon. The cobbler topping was flaky and golden brown, and it paired perfectly with the
