pear cobbler

A few years ago, my cousin Melinda brought pears to the Pierson reunion. I brought a quart back and it’s been sitting in our kitchen since. Today is the day I took action and am baking a pear cobbler. 

Here’s the recipe found online:

Filling: put ingredients in a saucepan and heat until melted. Pour over pears. 

Mix the topping ingredients until combined. Drop by spoonful on top of filling. Bake 30-35 minutes
