PEAR COBBLER
A rustic batter is dropped onto fresh pears before being baked for a healthier dessert. Using less sugar than most recipes I've seen, the crisp flavor of the pears is highlighted. My family and I enjoy this at breakfast. I leave 1 or 2 of the pears unpeeled to add a bit of color.

INDIVIDUAL APPLE COBBLER
THIS RECIPE was given to me in an exchange with a homemakers group several years ago. Apples are a vibrant part of the color around New England in autumn. Once the harvest is in, apple treats pop up everywhere. I love to make this dessert at this time of year. -Lucy Holland, Derby Line, Vermont

Tips:
- Use ripe pears: Choose ripe, firm pears for the best flavor and texture. Avoid pears that are too soft or bruised.
- Peel and core the pears: Before cooking, peel and core the pears. This will help the pears cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices in your cobblers. Common spices that pair well with pears include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Don't overcook the pears: Pears should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Serve warm: Cobblers are best served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
