Harvest Pear & Apple Cobbler with Cheddar Dumplings

Ingredients

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 large, ripe Anjou pears, peeled, cored, cut into thin slices (3 cups)
  • 2 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, cut into thin slices (3 cups)
  • 2 Tbsp. apple juice or water
  • 1 Tbsp. butter, cut into small pieces

Dumplings:

Directions

  1. For filling, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add fruit and juice or water; mix well. Transfer mixture to a 1-1/2-quart shallow casserole dish or 11 x 7-inch baking dish; top with butter pieces.
  2. For dumplings, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add cheese; mix well. Add milk and butter; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop dough into 8 or 9 mounds over fruit mixture.
  3. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and dumplings are golden brown. Transfer to a wire cooling rack; let stand at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
