Dessert Series Part III: Crunchy Cobbler

Another dessert that I probably make too often is this incredibly easy cobbler recipe that I found in Southern Living, July of 2008. I love this recipe because it is so easy that after preparing it once I had committed it to memory... and that really makes me feel domestically legit. You can use any kind of fruit. I have tried it with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, and most recently fresh peaches from Jones Orchard. The topping is sugary and crisp. Make this today. You won't regret it.

Crunchy Cobbler

Ingredients

- 4 cups fruit (you can use frozen or fresh)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 4-6 Tbsp. melted butter

Directions
Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl toss fruit with lemon juice, and a sprinkle of sugar if desired. Pour fruit mixture into a greased, square, glass baking dish. In a mixing bowl combine flour and sugar and egg until the ingredients form a cornmeal like mixture (when it looks like sand, it is ready). Spread mixture on top of fruit, patting down if necessary. Drizzle melted butter over cobbler. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until lightly browned and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serving it with Ice Cream is not optional, it's a MUST.
