Paula Deen's Cobbler

This cobbler is amazing and pretty healthy too! Well, it's fairly healthy the way I make it but not the way Paula Deen makes it. :) Tonight I made this recipe but used Cooper Farms canned peaches; it may have been even more delicious then the pear!

Ingredients

  • 8 Bosc pears, peeled, halved and cored
  • 2 cups pear nectar
  • 1 stick melted butter (I used 4 T of Smart Balance Light), seriously, you don't need all of that butter!
  • 2 cups biscuit mix (I used Hodgson Mill whole wheat baking mix)http://www.hodgsonmillstore.com/en/Mixes/Whole-Wheat-Insta-Bake-Mix-/71518-02020-001_Group.aspx
  • 2 cups sugar (I used less, about 1 1/2 Cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half (I used skim milk)
  • Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling
  • Vanilla frozen yogurt, for serving

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large resealable plastic bag, add the pears and pear nectar. Seal the bag, and marinate for 1 hour. Remove the pears from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Grill the pears for 5 minutes per side. I didn't grill the pears or the peaches. Maybe it would make this cobbler even better?

Put the melted butter in a 13 by 9-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix, sugar, and half-and-half. Pour the batter into baking dish over the butter. Arrange the pears on top. Do not stir the pears. Pour the reserved marinade over the top of the pears. Bake until lightly browned, about 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve warm with ice cream and Pear Topping, if desired.
