APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees
• Combine apples, sugar and lemon juice. Dot with butter. Set aside.
• Toss to mix well. Pour into 3- to 4-inch deep baking dish. Dot with butter. Set aside.
• Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in mixing bowl. Using your fingers, cut in butter until mixture looks crumbly and butter is the size of small peas.

Drizzle top with a little additional melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 35 to 45 minutes, until golden.

ULTIMATE PLUM & APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• For the fruit, put all the ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over a low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, then leave to simmer until you have a chunky fruit compote, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 6. Whisk the egg into the milk and set aside. Rub the butter and the flour together until it has the texture of chunky breadcrumbs, then stir in the caster sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and a large pinch of salt. Pour in the milk mixture and bring together to form a thick, batter-like texture.
• Tip the compote into a baking dish and top with large spoonfuls of the cobbler mix, making sure there are a few gaps for the fruit to bubble through, then sprinkle everything with the demerara sugar. Bake for 35-40 mins or until the topping is golden and just cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the dish with generous spoonfuls of clotted cream.

COUNTRY FRESH APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Cobbler:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Place apple slices in a bowl and coat with juice from one lemon. Set aside.
• Place pecan pieces in a pie tin or similar oven-proof container, and place in the oven for about 7 minutes, or until toasted. (Watch carefully to prevent burning.) Let cool.
• Meanwhile place butter in a large casserole or 11x13 baking pan. Place casserole in oven until butter melts, and remove.
• Spread apple slices in single layer across the melted butter in the bottom of the casserole. Sprinkle the pecan pieces, lemon zest, cinnamon, and brown sugar over the apple slices and drizzle the syrup over all.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder (if not using self-rising flour), sugar, and milk. Slowly pour the mixture over the apple slices and lightly spread the batter to cover the apples.
• Place in the oven and bake for approximately 30 - 40 minutes until brown on the top. Remove to cool.
• Topping:.
• Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar and continue to whip until peaks are stiff (but not overly stiff like butter).
• Serve cobbler in bowls topped with a few tablespoons whipped cream.
