Apricot & Berry Cobbler
Cobblers combine two of my favorites things in the world, fruit and biscuits. A simple, easy-to-make, comfort dessert, they can be thrown together in a super short amount of time. It’s an easy recipe to fiddle with as well – don’t have apricots, try plums, peaches of nectarines; don’t like blueberries use raspberries or strawberries instead. You can even use frozen fruit if you don’t have access to fresh fruit. Double the recipe if you are serving a large party, or split it in half you need less (though you might have to adjust the bake time more or less depending on which direction you go) Of course I like eating the leftovers for breakfast. I figure it’s sort of like a reverse biscuit and jam, filled with fruit so it can’t be all bad for you can it?
