Redfeathers, I'd be happy to share!
Nectarines, peaches, apples, pitted cherries and of course, pineapple can be used for this.
4 TBSP butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg or cinnamon
2 large pears (any variety), peeled, cored and thinly sliced, about 2 cups
1 1/3 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 TBSP butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
Pre-heat oven to 375.
Melt the butter in an 8 inch pan (I prefer round). Add brown sugar and nutmeg and blend well. Remove pan from heat and arrange the pear slices, slices overlapping, on the brown sugar mix.
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in the softened butter, milk, egg and vanilla until just moistened.
Beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed. Pour batter over pears.
Bake for 35 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate. Let it stand 1 minute before removing the pan.
We like it best still slightly warm.
