Crunchy Pear Cobbler
Although you can make cobblers all year round using fruit of the season like mangos, cherries and apples, the fall is when the aroma of fruit baking in the oven warms the chilly temperatures and the hearts of family and friends.
This pear cobbler is particularly delish since it has no added sugar…yet it’s loaded with flavor, letting the natural sweetness of this fruit shine through. It’s pear-fect!

Love how easy this recipe was to make. I added 1 Tablespoon of cane sugar to make less tart. Also added 1/3 cp dried blueberries. Used 1 pack organic instant brown sugar oatmeal instead of granola. Turned out to be a hit.
