Apricot Cobbler
Ingredients:
– 6 cups fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
– 1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss the mixture until the apricots are evenly coated. Transfer the apricot mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Sprinkle the buttery topping evenly over the apricot mixture in the baking dish.
5. Pour the boiling water over the topping – do not stir. This will help create a crispy and golden crust.
6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the apricot filling is bubbly.
7. Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert is best enjoyed warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
8. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cobbler can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and delicious dessert the next day.
