SALTED APRICOT-HONEY COBBLER



Salted Apricot-Honey Cobbler image

Unlike most cobblers, which ask you to chop or slice the fruit, this one is meant to preserve the integrity of the apricots, which bake until totally tender, jammy and saucy, while still maintaining their shape and texture. The idea is to spoon out one of the barely sweetened, oaty shortcakes from the pan and then top it with the roasted, honey-sweetened fruit. Ice cream is optional but recommended.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/3 cups/175 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/55 grams quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into 1-inch pieces, chilled
1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, plus more for brushing shortcakes
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
2 pounds/900 grams apricots, pitted and halved (or quartered if very large)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lime or lemon juice
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the shortcake topping: Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until there are no large chunks left. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and mix just until blended, then turn the dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
  • Knead dough just until it's no longer super-sticky, and then pat the dough out so it's 1-inch thick. (The shape here doesn't matter; you'll be cutting out circles.) Using a 2-inch-round cutter, or something approximately that size (water glasses and Mason jars also work), punch out as many shortcakes as you can. Gently gather and re-pat the scraps so they're 1-inch thick and repeat until all the dough is used. You should have 8 or 9 shortcakes.
  • Prepare the filling: Toss apricots with honey, cornstarch, lime juice and kosher salt in a 2-quart baking dish (an 8-by-11-inch or 9-by-13-inch dish will work), then flip the fruit so they are all cut-side up. The apricot pieces will overlap a bit, and this is fine. Top with shortcakes; they will puff and spread quite a bit, so leave them well spaced. The idea is to have lots of fruit exposed once baked, so don't worry about the shortcakes covering every square inch. Brush the shortcakes with cream, and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and flaky sea salt.
  • Bake until shortcakes are golden brown and the juices of the apricot have thickened and bubbled up around the edges of the baking dish, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating (though it's even better at room temperature). This cobbler is the best the day it's made, but it can be baked a day ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe apricots: The riper the apricots, the sweeter and more flavorful your cobbler will be. Look for apricots that are plump, have a deep orange color, and give slightly when you press them.
  • Use a variety of apricots: If you can, try to use a variety of apricots in your cobbler. This will give you a more complex and interesting flavor. For example, you could use a combination of Blenheim, Moorpark, and Tilton apricots.
  • Pit the apricots: Before you add the apricots to your cobbler, you need to pit them. To do this, cut the apricots in half and remove the pit. You can also use a cherry pitter to remove the pits.
  • Make a simple syrup: A simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is boiled until the sugar dissolves. Adding a simple syrup to your cobbler will help to keep the apricots moist and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of flours in your cobbler topping will give you a more tender and flavorful crust. For example, you could use a combination of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and oat flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cobbler tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cobbler until the topping is golden brown and the apricots are bubbling: This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour.

Conclusion:

Apricot cobbler is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tart apricots, buttery crust, and creamy ice cream, it's the perfect way to end a meal. So next time you have a bunch of ripe apricots, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
