Take the chill out of a cold winter night with this delicious, homey pear cobbler. First, the pears are tossed with brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon, then arranged in a baking dish. The dough is made with both all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, as well as brown sugar and baking powder. The margarine is cut into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or your fingertips, then hydrated with low-fat buttermilk. Simply dollop the dough onto the pears and bake until browned and bubbly. Dust with powdered sugar right before serving to help bring it all together and for a prettier presentation.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Combine pears, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of flour, lemon juice and cinnamon in a large bowl; toss to coat pears and pour mixture into prepared baking dish.
  3. In a medium-size bowl, combine the remaining flours, remaining brown sugar and baking powder; cut in margarine with a pastry blender, or quickly with your fingertips, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and toss with a fork until flour mixture is moist.
