CRUNCHY CRUST PEACH COBBLER



Crunchy Crust Peach Cobbler image

I was looking for peach cobbler recipe that was a bit different and found this one at TOH. Dh ended up making this so that speaks to the ease of the recipe. This would be easy to substitute other fruit for peaches and I personally would increase the fruit filling but it was good as written as well. This makes for a nice cobbler with a crunchy crust with a light meringue flavor.

1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup boiling water

EASY CREEPING CRUST COBBLER



Easy Creeping Crust Cobbler image

This was given to me by my mom - she's made this for years, and it's really easy and really good! The name comes from the fact that the batter starts out underneath the fruit, and "creeps" up to surround the fruit as it's cooking! Great served with ice cream or whipped cream.

Mixed Tomato Cobbler with Gruyere Crust image

Resist temptation, and allow the cobbler to cool to room temperature before serving so tomato juices have time to collect.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups grated Gruyere cheese
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds assorted cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped basil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and 1 cup Gruyere cheese. Add 1 cup butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
  • With machine running, pour ice water (about 1/4 cup) little by little through feed tube. Pulse until dough holds together without becoming wet or sticky; be careful not to process more than 30 seconds. To test, squeeze a small amount together: If it is crumbly, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Divide dough into two equal balls. Flatten each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Transfer to refrigerator; chill 1 hour.
  • Melt remaining tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
  • Place tomatoes in a large bowl. Toss with remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar, and basil and pepper. When onion mixture is cooled, add to tomato mixture, and toss to combine. Transfer mixture to a deep 9 1/2- or 10-inch pie dish. Set aside.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out half the dough into a circle 1 inch larger than pie dish. Remaining dough may be frozen up to 1 month. Transfer rolled dough to top of dish; tuck in edges to seal. Make three to four small slits in crust; form a decorative edge if desired. In small bowl, mix egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush egg glaze over crust; sprinkle crust with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Place pie dish on a baking sheet to catch drips; bake until crust is golden and insides are bubbling, about 50 minutes. Let cobbler cool before serving.

Tips:

  • For a classic cobbler crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. For a more tender crust, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • Use very cold butter for the crust. This will help create a flaky texture. You can freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it, or you can use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Don't overmix the crust dough. Too much mixing will make the crust tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • If you're using a biscuit mix for the crust, follow the package directions for preparing the mix. You may need to add some milk or water to the mix to achieve the desired consistency.
  • If you're using a self-rising flour for the crust, omit the baking powder from the recipe.
  • For a crispy crust, bake the cobbler at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for the first 15-20 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • If you're using a fruit filling for the cobbler, be sure to drain the fruit well before adding it to the cobbler. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cobblers are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of crust and filling options to choose from, there's sure to be a cobbler recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give cobbler a try!
