Blueberry And Apricot Dessert Recipes

APRICOT & BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Line an oblong traybake tin (21 x 30cm) with baking parchment and heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Beat the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, eggs and milk together until creamy. Spoon into the tin, level the top, then bake for 25 mins until almost set.
• Meanwhile, get the yogurt and fruit at the ready and make the crumble by rubbing all the ingredients together.
• When cake has baked for 25 mins, whip it out of the oven. Working quickly, spoon over the yogurt, scatter over the fruit, then top with the crumble. Return to oven for 15-20 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Serve warm as a pudding, or cooled and cut into squares with tea.

APRICOT-BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in middle and lower thirds. In a large bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir in apricots and blueberries. Spread mixture into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
• In a food processor, pulse remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Add heavy cream and pulse 2 or 3 times until combined.
• Spoon batter in 8 mounds on fruit mixture. Press lightly on tops to flatten, brush with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar if desired.
• Bake on middle rack, with a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet on lower rack to catch drips, until biscuits are golden and juices bubble in center, 45 minutes to an hour. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
