Nectarine Cobbler

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 1 13x9-inch cobbler
A lovely, not-too-sweet summer dessert that's equally delicious with peaches. Be sure to use only the ripest in-season fruit, and serve it warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

Ingredients

Filling:

4 cups sliced nectarines

1/2 cup cold water

1/3 cup unpacked light brown sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

Garnish:

Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. To prepare the topping: In a medium-size bowl, stir together the flour, the sugar, and the baking powder. Add the milk and the butter and beat until smooth.
  3. To prepare the filling: In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly, about 5-10 minutes. Pour into an ungreased 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Spoon the topping over the filling and spread carefully and evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake 30-40 minutes or until topping is lightly golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of topping comes out clean.

I'm afraid I did not like this recipe.  It was too sweet for me, and the sharpness of the nectarines was completely lost.  Also, I did not care for the sweet cake on top.  I will look for a less sweet recipe with a crumble topping or a shortcake/biscuit topping instead.  I will not be making this again
