APPLE BLACKBERRY COBBLER RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Combine blackberries and apple. Combine 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and lemon rind; toss with fruit. Stir in vanilla; set aside.
• Combine 3/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in 3 tablespoons cold butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg white; sprinkle ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time, over surface until mixture forms a loose ball. (Dough will be slightly crumbly.) Place mixture on heavy-duty plastic wrap; pat dough 3 or 4 times to form a disc. Cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into an 8-inch square. Chill 10 minutes.
• Toss fruit mixture gently; spoon into an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter.
• Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap from dough; invert dough over fruit mixture in pan. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap.
• Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over crust. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes or until crust is browned. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Peel and core the apples, then chop into small, chunky pieces. The prepared weight should be about 700g. Put in a mixing bowl, then combine with the blackberries, 125g golden caster sugar and 2 tbsp flour. Set aside to draw out the juices.
• Meanwhile, for the topping, break the hard-boiled egg yolks, if using, into a food processor. Sift in the flour, baking powder, golden caster sugar and a pinch of salt, then whizz briefly. Add the butter, then pulse until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl, then stir in the whipping cream to form a soft and quite sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface, then gently bring it together into a ball. Carefully roll the dough out to a thickness of 1.5cm, then cut into 8 x 6.5cm rounds using a plain or fluted pastry cutter.
• Stir the melted butter into the reserved fruity mixture, then spoon it into a 2.5 litre (20cm x 30cm) shallow ovenproof dish. Arrange the cobbler discs on top of the fruit, leaving a small gap between each one. Brush the ‘cobbles’ with the remaining 1 tbsp whipping cream, then sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Bake for 40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the cobbles have risen and are golden brown. Serve with a glug of cream or custard, a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of ice cream.
