Autumn Cobbler.

Friday trivia is back tomorrow. Sharpen your skills!
I’ve made many different types of cobblers, streudels and crisps, and I wanted to make one with some delicious autumn fruit while it was still in season.
Autumn beauties.
Honeycrisp apples, pears, and blackberries.
These pears were so juicy. It took everything in my power not to keep it for myself.
I rarely get a ‘good’ pear. Most are tough, bruised or mushy. I lucked out this time – this one was perfect.
I threw the fruit into a square baking dish.
Sprinkled some brown (brown = healthy, remember?) sugar and cinnamon on the goods.
I made my cobbler topping in one of my many pink bowls.
Do bowls even come in colors other than pink? I wouldn’t know.
Cold butter. You don’t even want to know how many pounds of butter I went through when I was baking 1000 cupcakes.
I’m breaking the bank on butter lately. I will be the little old lady who lives in her shoe(s). With butter.
I used Mother Lovett’s old pastry blender to cut the butter into the dough.
And added some milk to finish off the dough.
Initially, I tried to plop pretty circles of dough on the fruit. I had alot of dough, so I just added it all on.
Fresh out of the oven. I covered up the corner that somehow got fork marks on it. I have no idea how.
Sweet and cinnamon-ey fruit with a vanilla cobbler topping.
Autumn Cobbler
2 ripe pears
3 small honey crisp apples
1 pint blackberries
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teasopon baking soda
3/4 stick of cold butter
3/4 cup of milk
Preheat oven to 375.
After washing and drying fruit, chop pears and apples into small chunks. Place in a baking dish, sprinkling blackberries over the top. Add brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to fruit, and let sit while you prepare the dough.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, remaining cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add chopped, cold butter. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut butter into the flour mixture until it is in small crumbles and combined.
Add 3/4 cup milk to dough, stirring until just combined. Add spoonfuls to the top of the fruit.
Bake at 375 for 40 mins. Cover halfway through if mixture gets too brown.
After eating the entire dish tasting, I wondered if there was a way to make this dish even better.
I committed a sin and added some Godiva White Chocolate Fresh Whipped Cream.
Please forgive me.
You can find the Godiva White Chocolate Fresh Whipped Cream recipe here, along with the Godiva White Chocolate Cheesecake recipe.
It was totally worth it.

That looks so delicious! I love cobblers so much.
Wow- that looks so amazing. Seriously- you make me almost want to bake…not from a box…almost.
Looks delish!
YUMMM I love fruit and cobblers
I love how you show step by step pictures! it makes it that much more mouthwatering!!
The cobber looks positively delicious. I love that you used multiple fruits…usually I have just used one.
Just noticed the tagline of your blog title—LOVE IT!
OOOOOOOh my word that looks so SO so soooooo good. SO GOOD. Pears & Blackberries are my fav fav FAV fruit flavor combo. UMMMMMMmmmm did I mention how GOOD this looks?!
Honeycrisp apples are my favorite — and this is great both blackberries and honeycrisp apples are in season for Texas right now. I will be making a trip to the grocery store this weekend to make my fiance this wonderful treat
thanks for sharing!
Food porn at it’s best, as always. Your posts make me want to try baking again (inserts screams of terror from those that know me HERE). If anyone is harmed, I’m blaming you, ok?
You make so many delicious treats! What do you do with it all? Goodness, girl, you make me hungry!
That looks delicious! I really want a pastry cutter
Ummm, I usually eat it. None of my pants are happy at the moment. And they won’t button. Wonder why?
It looks amazing!
Godiva White Chocolate Fresh Whipped Cream IS a sin and one that I would GLADLY commit
you make me want to bake so badly!! yum

I usually am not a huge cobbler fan but this looks delicious
Good lawd that looks good!
Just lovely!!! I love crisps, crumbles, and cobblers of all sorts
Ok so that looks amazing. I actually LOVE pears and blackberries and pears lately I have been having better luck but good blackberries are in season for precisely 3 days a year I think so it’s rare to find them, or afford them!, or find good ones. Wow, yours look amazing. As does the recipe but b/c of my gluten/dairy avoidance I would veganize and GF this but yeah, delish looking.
I loved your comment last nite about being vegan possibly after looking at my recipes but with yours, not so much LOL
This looks super freaking delicious.. I love your fruit combo!!! What a perfect fall dessert. You rock!
The apples and blackberries look so good, so there is no way that cobbler could every be bad!
haha, yes, brown-healthy, true!
The cobbler looks amazing. I love blackberries. Nick and I purchase frozen blackberries to add to our ice cream, all the time. I also add them to my cereal sometimes!
I see your responds to Kelly from Bridges and Bites – I have a very similar feeling!!! on one hand , I just can’t keep myself off those amazing dessert recipes and want to try them all, on the other hand, I am living by myself and I need to ate them all!! So now every friday I am bringing all my sweets into the office, and happily share them!
the cobbler recipe looks much simpler than I expected – I want to try it out!!! (ooops, so next friday my office mates will ates cobblers ! )
I love cobbler! I always forget about… your post reminds me how easy and delicious cobbler is! I need to add it back into my dessert rotation
owwwwwwwwwww we’re going to my parents for dinner this weekend- I might need to make this for dessert!
I love fall because of recipes like this!! Looks delicious.

Yay for cobbler! I’m all about the fall desserts these days.
i LOVE the idea of using multiple fruits in cobblers…i always stick to just one, but i am going to need to spice it up!
AMAZING! my mouth is drooling..i love more than one fruit in the cobbler!
What a wonderful dish! Love all the fall desserts….heck I love all the fall dishes!
Delicious cobbler recipe. Love cobblers, crumbles etc. That crunchy top and the gooey fruit underneath!
Is there anything better than baking with pears?? I just love pears in baked goods, not too sweet but not too sour either. That recipe is lovely!
Looks like a fab recipe for Thanksgivin’!
