Non Fruit Cobbler Recipes

NON-FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter until bubbly in a 325 degree oven. While melting mix remaining ingredients. When butter is melted pour batter into pan and bake until golden brown approx 25 mins.
• 2. It's great served with ice cream while hot. If you just have to have fruit than after you pour the batter in over the butter add a large can of sliced peaches or your favorite fruit. If you use more than one can of fruit be sure to drain one of them. Fruit cocktail makes a good cobbler also.

EASY, FOOLPROOF COBBLER (FOR ANY FRUIT)

Steps:

• Combine the flour and sugar.
• Add the butter, mixing as you go, until the mixture forms a soft dough. It can be slightly crumbly, but you want it to hold together when you squeeze it.
• Spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Put the fruit in the dish - you will probably need about 4 cups of berries or chopped fruit. You want to create a thick layer that comes about two inches up the sides.
• If the fruit is particularly tart, sprinkle with a light layer of sugar. If the fruit is soft and sweet, you don't need it.
• Take the dough by the handful and pat it into disks that are about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick. Lay them on top of the fruit, continuing with the patties, until it is covered.
• Bake the cobbler at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes, until the crust is light golden brown. Let cool slightly, then serve with ice cream.

EASY BATTER FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, and heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put butter in an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan; set in oven to melt. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.
• Whisk flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Add milk; whisk to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tb. of sugar.
• Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

NO CRUST FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, peaches and apricots well. Combine with cherry pie filling sugar and juice. Bake in a 7x11 for a thicker casserole or a 9x13 for a thinner casserole. Top with walnuts or other nuts. Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• Top with toasted coconuts, if desired.

ULTIMATE PLUM & APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• For the fruit, put all the ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over a low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, then leave to simmer until you have a chunky fruit compote, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 6. Whisk the egg into the milk and set aside. Rub the butter and the flour together until it has the texture of chunky breadcrumbs, then stir in the caster sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and a large pinch of salt. Pour in the milk mixture and bring together to form a thick, batter-like texture.
• Tip the compote into a baking dish and top with large spoonfuls of the cobbler mix, making sure there are a few gaps for the fruit to bubble through, then sprinkle everything with the demerara sugar. Bake for 35-40 mins or until the topping is golden and just cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the dish with generous spoonfuls of clotted cream.
