COOKING FOR ONE> maybe two APPLE COBBLER

 I've been trying out many of the recipes at One Dish Kitchen.  She has some great, conservative ways to make the most of food prep especially with the  high grocery prices. Sometimes you want just enough for you and another person (or  two for you).😄 The key is measurement conversion for more or less. In this case less. I'm not the best mathematician so my version of this One Dish Kitchen dump apple cobbler is my own.

Joanie, the author of One Dish Kitchen suggests using ramekins. She featured many styles and a link to where they could be bought if you choose to purchase online or in store.

 I bought these from Amazon.

This one's a winner and I'll be making it from time to time.🏆

Footnote: I also bought the silicone baking mats from Amazon. I'd been wanting one of these for cooking and crafting. This box came with two. I used the mat to save on clean up. It worked perfectly. Just a swipe with a damp cloth and the cooking juices were gone . I was left with a clean baking sheet underneath ready for the next project.👍

Pears but no Partridge

 

When a friend called and asked if I like pears, I told her yes. I went over and I picked sooooo many pears off of her tree. This one tree bore like there was no next year. (maybe that tree knows something I don't) She'd already done a laundry basket of them and the tree was still loaded.

Clockwise: 

*Huge, heavy bag of pears 

*I separated them out and gave them to friends.  (not shown: the second batch of pears

  I picked)

*Ordered a peeler from Amazon. It looked like a toy but it worked great. 

I also ordered a corer from Amazon. Cores and slices.

A couple of weeks later I decided to use a dump cake method to make a pear cobbler. I watched about 5 different YouTube videos to view various perspectives. I consider a "cake" to have no juice. All of the recipes used a filling. I suppose it's called a dump cake because of the cake mix that's dumped on top of the filling to make a crust.

1. Gathering the items I'll need

2. Cooking and flavoring the frozen pears with just a small amount of water to get it started. As the  pears thawed they released their juices. (I noticed that none of the cooks added any

spices to their filling. ) But, I did. 😃SHOUT OUT to SIS for telling me this.

3. Put a little butter and powdered cake mix at the bottom of the greased pan. 

4. Placed the pear filling in each small loaf pan (about 2 cups), sprinkled the top of filling with cake mix. Placed pats of butter on top before baking

Cooked Pear Cobblers

I kept one for myself, tasted it and it was delicious.  Now I could distribute the rest to friends.

Top of the list on the receiving end  were  E.P. & L.P who have the pear tree. Thank you.
