Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Pears
• ¹⁄₄ cup Dried cherries
• ¹⁄₃ cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar

• 4 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease six individual ramekins or a baking dish.

3. Divide the pear mixture evenly among the ramekins or spread it in the baking dish.

5. Stir in the milk, ginger, and chocolate chips until just combined.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping onto the pear mixture, covering it completely.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
9. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
