FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN COBBLER

Steps:

• For the Apple Granola Crumble: Toss together the apples, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in a large bowl until the apples are completely coated. Add the granola, butter, remaining 2 tablespoons flour, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon to a small bowl. Use the back of the spoon to smash the butter into the dry ingredients until completely combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Set both aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Peach Cobbler: Toss together the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, orange zest and salt in a large bowl until completely coated and no lumps of flour or sugar remain. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Mixed Berry Walnut Streusel: Toss together the berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1/2 cup sugar and salt in a large bowl until completely coated. Place granola in a large resealable plastic bag and smash with a rolling pin or a small skillet until finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and add the butter, flour and remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Use the back of the spoon to smash the butter into the dry ingredients until completely combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Stir in the walnuts. Set both aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler: Toss together the strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, light brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until completely coated. Set aside until ready to assemble.
• For the Cobbler Dough: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cream and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Gather into a ball and set aside until ready to assemble.
• Assemble the Cobbler: Position a rack on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Position a 13-by-18-by-1-inch rimmed baking sheet with the long side facing you. Imagine the baking sheet is divided into 4 equal panels. Working quickly, scrape the apple filling into the far left-side of the baking sheet so that it fills a quarter of the baking sheet. Mound the apples on top of themselves to keep from spreading. Scrape the peaches and accumulated juices into the panel next to the apples. At this point, only half of the sheet pan should be full. Scrape the berries and accumulated juices next to the peaches. Scrape the strawberry-rhubarb mixture and accumulated juices into the remaining panel.
• Transfer the cobbler dough to a floured work surface and roll into a rectangle the about the size of a quarter of the baking sheet, roughly 12-by-4-inches. Use 1 1/2-inch round biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out 10 circles of biscuit dough. Remove the circles (keeping the remaining dough in-tact) and place them on top of the peaches. Lay the large piece of cut out dough on top of the strawberry-rhubarb section. Brush the biscuit dough with cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Top apples with the granola crumble and the berries with the walnut streusel. Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and cobbler begins to bubble, 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes before serving. Cobbler will thicken as it sits. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE SHEET PAN COBBLER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch rimmed sheet pan and set aside.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds in a large bowl. Add the butter and toss together, breaking up the pieces of butter into the flour with your fingertips or two knives scissor-fashion until the mixture is sandy and the butter chunks are no larger than peas. (Alternatively you can cut the butter in with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the buttermilk and mix until just combined; the dough should be shaggy.
• Scoop the dough into 6 equal mounds over the berries. Flatten the dough to cover as much surface area as possible (you can dip your hands in buttermilk to flatten it if you like). Brush the dough with buttermilk and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and some more sugar. Bake in the middle of the oven until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown and the fruit is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through the baking time. Set aside for 5 to 7 minutes to cool before serving.
• For the strawberry whipped cream: Beat the cream, vanilla and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer on a high speed until it just begins to increase in volume. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until medium-stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Warm the preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, removing any seeds and fruit chunks. Add the strained mixture to the whipped cream and fold gently a couple of times to create a swirled effect.
• To serve, scoop the cobbler into bowls, top with the swirled strawberry cream and enjoy!

FIRECRACKER RED, WHITE AND BLUE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with baking spray with flour.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and whole eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. In small bowl, place 1 cup of the batter; stir in 1 teaspoon of the red food color until blended. In another small bowl, place 1 cup of the batter; stir in 1 teaspoon of the blue food color until blended.
• Pour red cake batter into bottom of pan. Carefully pour remaining white batter over red batter in pan. Carefully pour blue batter over white batter. (Blue batter does not need to cover white batter completely; it looks better if it just forms a ring in the center of the white batter.)
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven. Let stand 10 minutes, remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Place cake on cooling rack over waxed paper or cooking parchment paper. In small microwavable bowl, place 1/4 cup of the frosting. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle over cake. With spoon, drizzle warmed frosting back and forth over cake in striping pattern. Divide remaining frosting between 2 small microwavable bowls. To 1 bowl, stir in 1/4 teaspoon red food color until well blended. Microwave uncovered on High 5 to 10 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over cake. Repeat with remaining bowl of frosting and 1/4 teaspoon blue food color. Sprinkle candy sprinkles on top. Let stand about 30 minutes or until frosting is set. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
