Apricots are in season! So you just can’t miss out on Apricot Cobbler – a classic American dessert. Loaded with fresh apricots delicately flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg and then topped with buttery pie crumble. Finish it off with vanilla ice cream for the best apricot dessert to kick off summer.
This recipe is quick, easy and foolproof. First things first: the apricots. When shopping for apricots, look for ones that are free from damage. Apricots should be ripe but firm. Wash, halve and pit the apricots. Next, prepare a simple syrup in a saucepan. Once at a boil, stir until thickened for about 1 minute. Add in the apricots and butter and heat through. Then transfer the apricot filling to a baking dish and prepare the dough for the topping. Use a spoon or scoop to drop the batter evenly over the apricots. Sprinkle the sugar over the topping and bake the apricot cobbler for about 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Eat and enjoy!
To make the Fresh Apricot Cobbler, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 390 °F.
Bring 250 ml water, 170 grams sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon each cinnamon and nutmeg to a boil. Stir until thickened for about 1 minute.
Reduce the heat, add 1 kilogram halved apricots and 1 tablespoon butter and simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Transfer the filling to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine 255 grams all-purpose flour, 50 grams caster sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Cut in 100 grams butter until the flour mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually drizzle in up to 250 milliliters milk until the topping is just moistened. Make sure the flour mixture is not too soggy and difficult to handle. Use just enough milk as needed to moisten the crumble.
Using a spoon or scoop, drop the batter evenly over the apricots. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons granulated sugar over the topping.
Bake the apricot cobbler for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve the apricot cobbler with a scoop of ice cream, and enjoy!
