Flexible Fruit Cobbler

A fruit cobbler has the same comfort food feel to it as a crumble. Frozen red berries are mixed with fresh cooking apples topped with a crispy scone-like topping that will soak up all the delicious juices into it's soft interior. Feel free to vary the type of fruit you use – it’s entirely up to you, depending on seasons, preference or availability.

Ingredients

  • cornflour 115 g
  • apple 1 ¼ (chopped)
  • caster sugar 150 g
  • natural yoghurt 125 ml
  • butter 125 g
  • baking powder 2 tsp
  • oats 150 g
  • ground almonds 85 g
  • orange 1 ¾ (juice)
  • frozen berries 500 g

Method

  • Peel, remove the core and roughly chop the apples. Put the apples into a suitably sized baking dish. The finished fruit should fill the dish roughly halfway or three-quarters full, leaving a good inch or so of extra space for cobbler topping.
  • Zest and juice the orange. Gently mix in the frozen berries, 50g of the caster sugar, two tablespoons of cornflour and the orange juice. Set aside.
  • To make the cobbler topping, put the oats in a food processor and blitz until you have a fine powder that resembles flour. Add the almonds, the remaining corn flour, the rest of the caster sugar, baking powder, salt and butter cut into cubes. Pulse or briefly mix until you have a breadcrumb consistency. Finally, add the yoghurt and the orange zest. Briefly mix again, until everything just binds together, giving you a soft wet dough.
  • Scoop the cobbler dough in a ball on top of the filling, being as rustic or. neat as you like, leaving plenty of the filling exposed still.
  • Put on a baking tray and bake for 45- 55 minutes until the cobbler is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  • Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving and enjoy!
