Red fruit cobbler
Some history
Cobbler: Red fruit cobbler is an American dessert that dates back to the arrival of the first settlers. Like a crumble, a cobbler is a dessert that can be made with whatever fruit you happen to have in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 750g red fruit (redcurrants, strawberries, raspberries, cherries)
- 1tbs cornflour
- 100g flour
- 50g almond powder
- 1tsp baking powder
- 30g unrefined brown sugar
- 50g cold butter
- 12cl milk
- 1 vanilla pod
- Handful of flaked almonds
- A pinch of salt
Preparation
Heat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Peel and dice the apples, then place in a baking dish. Mix the (chopped) red fruit with the cornflour, then add to the apples.
Combine the flour, almond powder, baking powder, sugar and cold butter until you obtain a crumbly texture. Add the milk, (scraped) vanilla seeds and salt, then mix until the pastry has a smooth consistency.
Roll the pastry on a floured worktop until about 1cm thick, then cut out 8 pastry discs. Arrange the discs on the fruit mixture.
Brush them with a little milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 25 minutes. Half way through, add the flaked almonds. Serve warm.
