This post may contain affiliate links.Please read our disclosure policy.A cobbler or crisp can sound predictable, but hear me out on this one! It has chocolate for creaminess and pops of cranberries for brightness.

This Pear Crumble is anything but expected, and, it’s the best use for 4 fresh pears on your counter.Please never say fruit cobblers are boring around me, because I know you only feel that way only because you haven’t had my cobblers.I sprinkle chocolate in my cobblers (yes, really!), and I have another secret addition to my pear crumble that makes it elevated, too! It’s fresh cranberries! So, you can have a boring cobbler that consists of mushy fruit, boring spices, and crunchy topping, or you can have my pear crumble with white chocolate chips, pops of cranberries, and fresh pear.

I think I know which one you’re going to pick! Ingredients Pears.Four medium pears of almost any variety.My first choices are Anjou or Bosc pears, because they’re firm when sliced.

A Bartlett pear would be okay as long as it’s not too ripe and soft.If the pears are too ripe before baking, they will turn into mush when cooked.So, err on the side of firm and not quite ripe for this recipe, please! Cranberries.

Two-thirds of a cup of fresh cranberries.They can be frozen or fresh, but not canned, okay? Sugar.One-third cup of granulated white sugar for sweetening the filling.

Vanilla.One teaspoon of vanilla extract for the filling.Lemon Juice.
