Description

Indulge in the warm, spiced goodness of Gingerbread Pear Dump Cake, a delightful dessert that brings cozy flavors to your table. Perfect for gatherings and chilly nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe pears, peeled and sliced
  • 1 box (15 oz) gingerbread mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Prepare the Pears: Toss the sliced pears with a sprinkle of brown sugar and set aside to enhance their sweetness.
  3. Mix Your Batter: In a large bowl, combine the gingerbread mix, melted butter, eggs, and milk. Mix until just combined; some lumps are okay.
  4. Layer It Up: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread the sweetened pear slices evenly over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.
  5. Bake Away: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
