The brandy imparts a great flavor to this simple dessert, but you can substitute 1/4 cup apple juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if you prefer. Be sure to use very ripe pears so you don't end up with crunchy or overly firm fruit in the cobbler.
I agree with all the reviews. This is delicious!! Will definitely make again. I did not have brandy, so I used Peach Schnapps, and it was lovely. I can imagine that this cobbler would be great with any number of different fruits and or liqueurs. Mine also was ready at about 25 minutes. It's just the two of us, so I am looking forward to finishing up the leftovers. A dollop of vanilla ice cream is a nice addition, too!

Read MoreThis recipe is truly delicious and easy. I use some pear liquor and it was great. I am not even a big cooked fruit fan, but this was perfect!
Read MoreEveryone loves it and asks for the recipe. I have been making it since I found it in COOKING LIGHT. It is an all season, all occasion desert, especially with pears available all year round. I have had to use SPLENDA occasionally and it turns out just as awesome as the normal recipe, though I bake it for 6 minutes less. I have also used brandy, rum, peach vodka and triple sec if no whiskey was available.
