Easy Plum Cobbler
Sliced fresh plums topped with a sweet crumbled dough, cobbled together for a quick and easy dessert featuring these delicious, juicy fruits.
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh plums, pitted and sliced (about 8-10 large plums)
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons apple brandy (optional)
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled and grated on a large box grater
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and cold
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping
- vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plums, brown sugar, brandy, cornstarch and cinnamon. Spoon the mixture into a 9″ or 10″ cast iron skillet.
-
In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar. Add the butter and using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the cream and stir with a fork just until moistened. Gently press the mixture together using a spatula, forming a loose dough. Crumble the dough on top of the plum mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.
-
Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve warm topped with ice cream if desired.
