How to Make Pear and Blackberry Cobbler

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit Filling

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced pears, blackberries, ½ cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 2: Make the Cobbler Topping

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt.
2. Add the melted butter (or coconut oil), milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined—the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit mixture, spreading it gently to cover most of the fruit (it’s okay if some fruit peeks through).
2. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.
2. Scoop into bowls and top with a generous dollop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
