PEACH AND FIG COBBLER RECIPES

Steps:

• Add the butter and 1/3 cup sugar to a large bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, beat about 3 minutes, or until well combined.
• Add in 1 cup flour and salt; beat on low speed just until the flour is incorporated; the mixture should be dry and crumbly.
• Scrape the flour from the bottom and edges of the bowl, pressing it into the pastry.
• The pastry should still be crumbly.
• Refrigerate the pastry until ready to use.
• Combine the peaches and figs in a big bowl.
• Add in the lime juice; toss to blend.
• In a smaller bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon; stir to blend.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar/flour mixture over the fruit.
• Fold gently, just to blend without crushing the fruit.
• Spoon the fruit into a lightly buttered 1 1/2 to 2 quart shallow dish.
• Sprinkle the cold pastry crumbs evenly over the fruit.
• Bake in a 350°F oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or the top is golden brown and the fruit bubbly.
• Let cool slightly.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• For filling, in a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients except cooking spray. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring often. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F and spray an 11x7x2 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• For topping, in medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oil and milk; blend well. Fold in pecans. Pour peach mixture into baking dish. Evenly drop topping mixture by rounded tablespoons over peach mixture. Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Serve cold or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
