Skillet Apple Berry Cobbler

I modified this recipe from pg. 48 in the June/July 2018 issue of Country Woman. It used peaches, which I didn’t have, so I substituted apples. This dessert is baked in the oven using a cast iron skillet, which has become my favorite cookware.

Filling:

1/4 cup sugar
3 TBS cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3 apples, peeled and diced
2 cups frozen mixed berries
1 TBS lemon juice

Topping:

1/2 cup all purpose flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour)
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/8 cup sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 TBS butter

Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples, berries and lemon juice. Transfer to a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add buttermilk. Drop by teaspoonfuls over the apple berry mixture. Dot with butter.
Bake uncovered until the topping is golden brown, about 40 – 45 minutes.
Serve warm. If desired, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Fruit Cobbler

This recipe is adapted to be a little healthier from a recipe on Facebook from Granny’s Kitchen pg. 364.
I used gluten free flour and have tried it with nectarines and strawberries. Super good with either one!

4 TBS butter
1/4 cup applesauce
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
fruit of your choice (nectarines, peaches, berries)

Melt butter and pour into bottom of baking pan. Mix together the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon. Add the applesauce and milk. Pour batter into baking pan on top of the butter. Cover with the fruit. Do not stir. The batter will rise to the top as it bakes and absorb the flavor of the fruit.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Apple Pear Crisp Fruit

This recipe is adapted to use less sugar from the Pear Crisp recipe out of The New American Plate Cookbook
, pg. 248. I added more spices in place of the sugar. The original recipe also calls for 6 pears, which I replaced with 4 pears and 2 apples.
It is delicious!!!

1/4 cup rolled oats
3 tbs whole wheat flour
4 tbs unbleached all purpose flour
1 tbs wheat germ
2 tbs packed dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbs canola oil
4 pears, peeled, if desired, cored and cubed into 1 inch pieces
2 apples, peeled, if desired, cored and cubed into 1 inch pieces
1 tbs lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/16 tsp ground cloves

Preheat oven to 375. Coat an 8 or 9 inch round or square pan with canola oil or non-stick cooking spray. In a bowl, combine pears, apples, lemon juice, 1/2 tbs of the dark brown sugar, 2 tbs of all purpose flour, nutmeg and cloves. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.
In a food processor, pulse the oats for 15 seconds. Add whole wheat flour, 2 tbs of all purpose flour, wheat germ, 1 1/2 tbs of brown sugar, and cinnamon. Process for 15 seconds. Drizzle in canola oil and process for 30 seconds. Cover top of pear mixture with oat mixture, pressing down gently. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping is brown and the pears are bubbling. Serve hot.

If you don’t have a blood sugar issue, like I do, this would be really good served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
