Cobblers are a classic dessert, but I think we can all agree that the traditional cobbler, although delicious, has become a bit old hat. Everyone is always glad to see it on the table, but you’ll never hear anyone say, “What is that?!” That’s why I’m really loving the delicious pear cobbler that I’ve discovered. It has all the classic flavors we love in cobbler along with some unexpected twists that are completely different. It’s one of those recipes that looks good but tastes great, and the best part is that it’s just as easy as it is tasty.

Recently, I was invited to a party, and I wanted to bring something a little different, so I gave this new recipe a try. After tasting it and watching it disappear almost immediately at the party, I knew I had to share it with all of you. It’s a total game-changer.

Pear Cobbler with Cinnamon Roll Crust

This delicious cobbler is filled with a sweet pear filling like any that you’d expect in a cobbler, but wait, there’s more. It also has a deliciously luscious cream cheese layer, as well. All of that filling is layered over a cinnamon roll crust, and then it’s all covered with a classic cobbler topping. What you end up with is a dessert that’s a bit like a cobbler, a bit like a pasty, and of course, accented with the flavor of cinnamon rolls. It’s a bit of a Frankenstein’s Monster of a dessert, and it is absolutely as delicious as it sounds.

Why You’ll Love This Pear Cobbler Recipe

  • It has a delicious cinnamon roll crust, tender pears, and cobbler topping that is so scrumptious.
  • It’s great served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or served cold. Both ways are delicious.
  • It tastes incredible, and the layer of sweet cream cheese takes the recipe over the top.

Tips

  • Be sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for the best incorporation and texture. You don’t want raw clumps of cream cheese in your mix.
  • Keep your butter in the refrigerator until ready to cut it into the cobbler topping to get the best texture.
  • Chilling your cinnamon rolls before rolling is vital unless you want a big mess on your hands.

Variations

  • Use your favorite fruit for the filling.
  • Berries work very well with this recipe, as well.

What is the best way to preserve pears?

Freezing, canning, and dehydrating are the most common forms of long-term pear storage. All of them work well. It’s a matter of personal preference.

Do you have to peel pears before freezing?

No. Peeling is strictly a matter of personal preference. If you’re freezing them for baking, peel them. If you’re freezing them for smoothies, leave the peel on for all its fiber and vitamins.

Can fresh pears be frozen?

Absolutely. It’s one of the most popular ways of preserving them.

How long will this pear cobbler last?

It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to a month.

How to Store and Reheat Pear Cobbler Leftovers

Place your cobbler in an airtight container or cover the original dish tightly with cling wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 days. For longer storage, either wrap the original dish in a double layer of plastic wrap and a layer of foil or place the cobbler in an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to a month.

To reheat this cobbler, allow it to come to room temperature. Then, bake it for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

How to Make Pear Cobbler with Cinnamon Roll Crust

Making this recipe is just as easy as the ingredient list. There are a few steps, but they’re all very simple. Even beginners can make this recipe.

Step 1: Prep

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2: Top the Dough

Roll out the crescent rounds, pinching together any perforated edges. Then, evenly spread 2 tablespoons of butter over each rolled-out slab of dough. Sprinkle each dough with ¼ cup of brown sugar and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Step 3: Make the Cinnamon Rolls

Starting with the shorter end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Then, slice each log into 1-inch pieces, cutting and discarding the ends. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4: Roll the Cinnamon Rolls Into a Crust

Remove the cinnamon rolls from the fridge and place them on a well-floured surface. Roll them out with a rolling pin, then place them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Layer

Cream the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, lemon juice, and vanilla together in a medium bowl. Then, spread the mixture over the rolled-out cinnamon rolls.

Step 6: Make the Pear Filling

Add the sliced pears, sugars, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon to a large bowl and mix until well combined. Then, spread the mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Step 7: Make the Cobbler Topping

Whisk the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Then, cut in the butter using a pastry cutter. Pour in boiling water and mix well with a fork. Finally, spread the topping over the pear filling.

Step 8: Bake

Bake the cobbler for 40 to 50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Enjoy!
