Gluten-Free Pear Cobbler Recipe
Gluten-Free Pear Cobbler is a great make-ahead big batch dessert recipe for entertaining guests during the holiday season and beyond! Rich, buttery biscuits pair magically with sweet warmly-spiced pears!
Ingredients
Pear Filling:
- 3 lbs pears peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp tapioca flour
- 3 Tbsp water
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or granulated sweetener of choice*
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 6 Tbsp butter melted OR melted coconut oil or ghee
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
Instructions
- Peel, core, and chop the pears and add them to a mixing bowl along with the rest of the ingredients for the pear filling. Stir well until combined and pears begin to sweat.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Add the dry ingredients for the topping (gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and coconut sugar) to a mixing bowl and stir well. Add the pure maple syrup, melted butter, and coconut milk and stir until a thick dough forms. Try to avoid over-mixing the dough.
- Transfer the pear mixture to a large 13” x 9” casserole dish and spread into an even layer. Drop dough over the pears, forming drop biscuits.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and back another 15 to 20 minutes, until biscuits are golden-brown.
- Remove cobbler from the oven. If desired, drizzle additional melted butter over the biscuits. Serve cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
*For a sweeter dessert, use 2/3 cup to 1 cup of brown sugar.
