This is a wonderful Winter warming dessert. I originally heard about this dessert on the Oprah show years ago when she popped into her neighbour's house unannounced. They were having this dessert with their meal that night. So I googled it and came up with my version of this American favourite.
1 x 410 gram tin of fruit in juice or stewed fruit
1 cup of SR flour
1/3 of a cup of sugar ( white or raw )
About 1 1/2 cups of milk - enough to make it a slightly runny batter
optional extras -
chopped walnuts
cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle on top,
sultanas or other dried fruit.
Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.

About 1 1/2 cups of milk - enough to make it a slightly runny batter
optional extras -
chopped walnuts
cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle on top,
sultanas or other dried fruit.
Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
Empty slightly drained tin of fruit into a casserole dish, cutting up any
large pieces.
In a mixing bowl mix the flour, sugar and milk until it's a smooth, slightly runny batter.
Pour evenly over fruit and sprinkle with nuts, cinnamon and sugar.
Bake on 180 degree Celsius for 40 mins. Serve with cream, ice cream or custard.
NOTES -
* A couple of weeks ago I made a cobbler using stewed apple from the freezer. It was a big hit with the family. Darren said it tasted like apple pie.
* Other fruit I've used with success are plums ( make sure you take the stone out ), peaches, apricots and pears.
* This dessert can be cooked 2 - 3 days ahead of time and reheated as needed.
* If you don't have any tinned fruit, grab a couple of apples ( even the wrinkly ones ), peel, cut and slice into a casserole dish. Cover with cling wrap and cook in the microwave on high for about three minutes. Then pour the batter over the top.

I like the sound of this!
ReplyDeleteI should have saved half of my stewed apples to give this one a go but that's ok, can't wait to try this recipe.
This dessert is really cheap if you use old fruit and stew them.
DeleteYes absolutely,
DeleteThe apples that I ended up stewing were bought at least a month or more back (I think I posted it in a frugal task one week) they were still pretty good although it does make me wonder how long they kept the fruit for before I actually purchased it :S
Yum Wendy, i just love Apple desserts (and Lemon). I don't think i have ever had Apple cobbler as i have only had Peach cobbler, must try. I made your Apple crumble last night, big hit, yummy, thanks
