How to Make Baked Pear Ginger Cobbler Whole Grain Goodness

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine crumble topping ingredients: 1 cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until crumbly.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 4 large ripe pears. Toss with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour. Add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional).
  4. Lightly spray a shallow 8x8 inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray.
  5. Evenly layer the pear slices in the prepared dish.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pears are tender. Check for doneness with a fork or knife.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
  9. Serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
