Description
This Apricot Cobbler is a sweet, comforting dessert made with juicy apricots and a golden, buttery biscuit topping. It’s the perfect balance of tart and sweet, with a warm jammy filling and a crisp, fluffy crust—best served with ice cream or whipped cream.
Ingredients
4 cups sliced apricots (fresh, canned, or frozen)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup milk or cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 2-quart baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine apricots, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add milk or cream and stir just until a soft dough forms—do not overmix.
6. Pour apricot mixture into prepared dish.
7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the fruit, leaving some gaps.
8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
9. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Be sure to drain canned or frozen apricots well to avoid a watery filling.
Use cold butter for a flakier biscuit topping—don’t skip this step!
Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes before serving so the filling sets.
