Ingredients

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 pounds prune plums or other plums, pitted and quartered
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1 large egg, beaten lightly

Directions

In a large bowl whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Add plums, lemon juice, and butter. Toss mixture well and spoon into a shallow 3-quart baking dish.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a food processor pulse together granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 cup almonds until almonds are ground finely. Add the egg and pulse until blended. Spoon flour mixture over plum mixture, pulling some plum wedges up for presentation. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup almonds over cobbler.

Bake cobbler in the middle of oven 45 minutes, or until golden and bubbling, and cool on rack. Serve cobbler warm or at room temperature.

Not a fan
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought this cobbler was just ok. Not fabulous, not horrible either. I thought the lemon juice was too overpowering to... the plums and the almond flavor I was hoping for in the crust was lackluster. The crust itself was over-the-top-sweet. Overall a dissapointment.Read more

awesome

pitting the plums is a pain but worth it, baked about 10 mins longer than recommended - perfection!

Delicious and easy

So tasty and easy! I used pluots instead of plums and they were delicious. The crust is crisp with a buttery flavor. Goes... great with vanilla ice cream.Read more
