Brandied Fruit Cobbler Recipes

Steps:

• 1. I would prefer using fresh or frozen peaches but during the off season I used canned variety. I used the gallon size to make both the pie and the cobbler. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. These are the canned peaches that I used. I did not use the lemon juice in this recipe because of the Brandy.
• 2. Separate peaches from liquid, cut into thirds and reserve liquid.
• 3. Add enough water to peach liquid to make about 6 cups.
• 4. Combine the dry ingredients together, sugar, salt, nutmeg, flour, & cinnamon
• 5. Break one of the refrigerated dough shells into small pieces to be used as dumplings. Set aside till needed to add to peach liquid.
• 6. Add the dry blend ingredients to the liquid, and stir just until it begins to thicken. Simmer over medium high heat.
• 7. Stir in the dumplings and cook over medium high heat just long enough to prevent them from sticking together about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peaches. Then remove from heat. Add the butter and stir till it melts.
• 8. Then add the vanilla bean paste or extract, butter extract, and Peach brandy in a small cup, stir into liquid mixture.
• 9. Add about a HALF of peach mixture to bottom of a 9 X 13 size baking pan, & top with a pie crust. Place in 375 degrees F. oven and bake for about 15 minutes. THEN REMOVE FROM OVEN. IF YOU WANT TO ADD 4 CRUSTS TO COBBLER, ADD ONE TO BOTTOM OF PAN BEFORE ADDING THE PEACH MIXTURE.
• 10. REMOVE FROM OVEN, and add remaining peach mixture. TOP WITH ADDITIONAL CRUST. Brush top of cobbler with egg wash and then add sparkling sugar crystals. Place cobbler on a larger shallow pan lined with foil to catch any potential drips before adding the last of the cobbler liquid for the oven.
• 11. Return to oven and continue to bake for about 45 to 50 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and serve as desired. PLEASE NOTE IF THERE IS TOO MUCH LIQUID OVER THE TOP OF THE CRUST BEFORE BAKING THAT PART WILL NOT GET AS GOLDEN BROWN ON TOP AS THE PART THAT IS NOT COVERED IN LIQUID. So you may want to remove some of the excess liquid BEFORE baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Melt butter in a 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
• Blend together flour, baking powder, sugar, and milk.
• Pour batter in baking dish over the butter. Sprinkle fruit on top of the batter, do not stir. Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, and heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put butter in an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan; set in oven to melt. When butter has melted, remove pan from oven.
• Whisk flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Add milk; whisk to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into pan, then scatter fruit over batter. Sprinkle with remaining 1 Tb. of sugar.
• Bake until batter browns and fruit bubbles, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Combine flour, oatmeal, sugar, and butter in a large bowl; mix until well combined. Place 3/4 of mixture along the bottom of a Dutch oven. Spread fruit over top, then sprinkle with the rest of the oatmeal mixture. Place on rack of hot grill; 1/3 of the charcoal must be on top and 2/3 of the charcoal must be on the bottom. The key to cooking it is not to open the Dutch oven until you have smelled the cobbler for 10 minutes. Every time you open the Dutch oven you lose the heat. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange fruit evenly in the bottom of a 13-in. x 9-in. greased baking dish. , In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk. Spoon over fruit. Combine sugar and cornstarch; sprinkle over batter. Pour water over all. Bake until fruit is tender and topping is golden, 40-45 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the currants, cranberries, cherries, pears and apricots. Zest the orange and add the zest to the bowl. Add the lemon, ginger, anise seeds, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and cardamom.
• Juice the orange and add the liquid to the bowl. Add the brandy and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a jar, cover and refrigerate. (If you don't have a jar that's large enough, keep the mixture in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.) Allow the fruit to sit in the liquid for 2 to 14 days before using. The flavor of the fruit, spices and brandy will improve with time. At least once a day, turn the jar upside-down (or thoroughly stir the mixture if it's in a bowl) to make sure all the dried fruit gets coated in the brandied liquid. The mixture keeps in the refrigerator for months, stored in an airtight container.
