    Summer Apricot Blueberry Cobbler Recipe

    August 14, 2017 by Anna

    Apricot Blueberry Cobbler is spicy, sweet, delicious summertime treat. Cobblers are the perfect dessert for using up abundant summer fruits.

    August is the month for stone fruits and there is nothing better than when a friend has fruit trees.

    And since fruit trees generally yield far too much for one family... Gr8 Friends share!

    Apricot Blueberry Cobbler just the fruit before the topping is added.

    Recently we received a bag of fresh apricots. After we had eaten as many as our tummies could handle the fruits were getting softer. Don't throw these jewels out, bake something!

    Anytime you have fruits about to go bad, make a dessert. Cobblers and Crisps are easy and delicious, and believe it or not, semi-healthy. It is fruit, after all!

    We also had some organic blueberries from the farmer's market. Apricots and blueberries are a great combo, add a few spices and you have warm, sweet, deliciousness.

    The good old trusty, dusty Farmer's Almanac explains the difference between cobblers and crisps and crumbles. (Oh My!)

    Feel free to substitute peaches for the apricots and try different berries as well! You won't be able to call it Apricot Blueberry Cobbler, but you will be able to have a Gr8 dessert!

    We served this with peaches at Tim and Jurga's Gr8 Independence Day Dinner celebration, and it was a hit!

    • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon salt

    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350º F and make sure the rack is in the center position.
    • Butter a 7" x 11" pan. (I used glass, if you use metal, the baking time may vary.)
    • Cut the apricots into six pieces each and discard the pits.
    • Toss in a bowl with the blueberries, lemon juice, brown sugar, nutmeg, and salt.
    • Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared pan.
    • Set aside while preparing the topping.
    • In a medium bowl, with a fork, mix together the flour, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • Add the butter and cut through it with 2 forks or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
    • Add the boiling water and toss quickly until the dough just comes together. Try not to overwork the dough.
    • Drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto the top of the fruit. It's okay if there are spaces.
    • Place on center rack of preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
    • Let cool before serving for at least 30 minutes, the fruit is extremely hot just out of the oven.

    Notes

    Gr8 Serving Tip:
    Serve with fresh whipped cream or ice cream.
    Gr8 Do-Ahead Tip:
    The cobbler can be made several hours ahead of time. You can serve it at room temperature or reheat it gently in the oven.
    Gr8 Tip: 
    My daughter suggested using raspberries instead of blueberries...try it!
