Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh apricots (halved and pitted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the halved and pitted apricots, 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using). Toss until the apricots are evenly coated and transfer them into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Drop small spoonfuls of the dough onto the apricot filling, leaving some gaps so the fruit can bubble through while it bakes.
Place the cobbler into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apricot filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
