CHERRY PEACH DESSERT RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange sliced peaches and cherries in a 10-inch quiche dish. In a small bowl, combine the water and the 4 teaspoons flour; pour over fruit.
• For cobbler dough, in a medium bowl, combine the 3/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; add egg and milk all at once. Stir just until moistened.
• Drop dough by spoonfuls into 8 to 10 mounds on top of the fruit. In a small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over the dough.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean and fruit mixture is bubbly on edges. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm. If desired, serve with dessert topping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the fruit in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and orange liquor and pour into a 9x13 inch or 4 quart casserole dish.
• In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• After the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended, add the buttermilk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and cold butter in quick succession, combining only briefly, to leave the mixture as lumpy as possible.
• Pour dough onto a lightly floured board and flatten gently with a rolling pin into a shape approximately 1-inch thick and just large enough to cover the top of the fruit in the dish completely.
• Place dough over fruit and seal edges so that the fruit is enclosed. Make 1 or two vent holes depending on the size pan used.
• Brush the dough with melted butter, and sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry top is nicely browned.
