Apple Pear Cobbler
Everyone (including myself) always talks about how much they love summer fruit, with the glorious peaches, berries and plums bursting with flavor. But the earthy comfort of winter fruit has its place as well. A mix of apples (try to get a bunch of varieties like Granny Smith, Jonagold, Golden Delicious and Gala) as well as a mix of pears (Bartlett, Comice, D’Anjou, Bosc) give the fruit filling great texture for every bite. I threw in some cranberries as well to brighten the plate and because I love the tart little berries. Finally I was lucky to find a bag of Meyer lemons at the store. Meyer lemons are a cross between lemons and oranges and have a sweet pungent smells and flavor. I adore them but if you can’t find them, just substitute regular lemons in their place.
