Apple Cranberry Cobbler

We are having some seriously cold weather here right now.  Like in the vicinity of -40 with the windchill.  Yes.  40 degrees below zero windchill.  About -14 without the windchill.  Super ridiculously cold.  So I thought that a nice warm comforting dessert was just what was needed.  This delicious cobbler is full of tart apples and cranberries with just the right amount of sweetness added in.


Apple Cranberry Cobbler

Apple Cranberry Filling:
5 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 12 ounce bag fresh (or frozen) cranberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) butter

Topping:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine the apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and lemon juice.  Toss together until evenly coated.  Place the butter in a 9x13 baking dish and place in the preheated oven.

For the topping, stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.  Pour in the milk and stir just until the batter comes together.  

When the butter has melted, remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the fruit filling evenly over the melted butter.  Spoon the topping over the fruit filling.

Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.  If the topping is getting too dark, place a piece of tinfoil loosely over the top.  Makes 8 servings.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
