GF Stovetop Cobbler
Ingredients
2 T. sugar
1 ½ t. baking powder
¼ t. salt
3 T. cold butter or coconut oil,
cut into cubes
⅓ cup plus 1 teaspoon milk
¼ t. vanilla
For the Fruit mixture:
½ cup sugar
1 t. cornstarch
¼ t. cinnamon
pinch of salt
6 cups (about 32 ounces) fresh or frozen fruit; sour cherries, peaches, nectarines, apples or apricots.
Directions
For the Dumplings:
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Rub the butter cubes into the flour mixture with fingertips until no visible pieces of butter remain but flour mixture is still fluffy and dry. Stir in milk and vanilla until mixture is just moistened. Do not overmix. Set aside.
For the Fruit mixture:
Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in bowl. Place fruit and sugar mixture in 10-inch saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium high and heat until it just comes to a boil. Adjust sweetness level to taste then reduce to a low boil.
Spoon heaping tablespoon sized pieces of dumpling dough onto fruit, spacing evenly (you should get about 6 dumplings). Immediately cover, reduce heat to low, and cook, adjusting heat to keep mixture at a steady simmer. Avoid peeking until dumplings are mostly set, about 25 minutes.
