Cooking Art: Cuisinart

The Cuisinart in all it's glory. I've been waiting a long time for this...

Cuisinart has been a household name with the Cope's for years. My Mom got her first Cuisinart a long time ago. I’m not sure exactly how long but I know she's had it for at least 25 years. A long time!! And I've wanted one for a long time, too. Just yesterday I decided that I would buy one (well, it was on sale and that's what prompted my big purchase) but had always thought upon getting married would I own my first Cuisinart. Nope. I am single! I now I’m a proud owner of Cuisinart 9-Cup Food Processor.  In my book, history was made. Also, I've had a picture of a Cuisinart on my "inspirational" kitchen bulletin board {yes, an actual, physical bulletin board – not Pinterest} for quite some time so just goes to show that you need to envision thing things that you want and ahh-hah they shall appear J My dream has come to fruition and now I have my very own Cuisinart!! The household name has made me a brand loyal customer to Cuisinart... I own the the Cuisinart Immersion Blender and the Cuisinart Citrus Juicer {and hopefully more to come….}.  

So...I had some fall fruit that needed to be used and decided to make my Grandma's Peach Cobbler recipe with a twist. Substituting pears and apples for the peaches.

Let’s just say yum…..
Below are some pictures {forgot to photograph my lovely pears} and the recipe. 

I had pears and apples from WesCo that needed to be used.. so I decided to take my Grandma Cope's Peach Cobbler recipe and make it instead with these fall fruit delights...

Presenting...Pear Apple Cobbler

Grandma Cope's Peach Cobbler Recipe aka Pear Apple Cobbler:

1/2 c. soft butter

1 c. sugar

2 c. flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. milk. 

Mix together (aka in the CUISINART) and put in greased pan. 

Fruit mixture:

4 c. fruit

1/2 c. sugar

Place mixture in pan with the fruit on top sprinkled with cinnamon. Bake 375, 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. 

Cool a bit and serve with whipped cream and a little dusting of cinnamon. I had the pleasure of baking some and sharing with my new neighbor, Riley, who just moved in. I just love hospitality...
