Apricot Biscuit Cobbler

Ingredients:
– 4 cups fresh apricots, pitted and sliced
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 1/2 cup milk

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Toss gently until the apricots are coated evenly. Transfer the apricot mixture to the prepared baking dish and set aside.

3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

5. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the apricot mixture in the baking dish, covering it as evenly as possible. The dough will spread and rise as it bakes.

6. Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the 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. You can enjoy it warm on its own or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

This Apricot Biscuit Cobbler is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when the biscuits are still warm and flaky, and the apricot filling is gooey and fragrant. It’s a versatile dessert that can be served at any time of the day – from a sweet breakfast treat to a comforting after-dinner delight. So, gather your loved ones, savor each bite of this delicious cobbler, and create lasting memories around the table.
