Ingredients

For the Cobbler filling:

1½ pound of Yellow Peaches

1½ pounds of White Peaches

5-7 Apricots

3 cups of Blueberries

½ cup of Sugar

Pinch of Cloves

1 teaspoon of Lemon Extract

1 of Lemon, Zest only

1/8 cup of Limoncello

1 tablespoon of Cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water

For the Cobbler topping:

1 cup of All-Purpose Flour

10 ounces of Almonds, slivered

½ teaspoon of Baking Powder

Pinch of Salt

2 sticks of Butter at room temperature (16 tablespoons)

1 cup of Sugar

1 Egg

1 teaspoon of Lemon Extract

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Skin the peaches and apricots and cut into small/medium slices. Add the other ingredients (except the cornstarch and water) and mix well with a wooden spoon. Scrape fruit mixture into 9 by 13 pyrex dish and cover with foil. Place dish in oven until fruit begins to release liquid about ½ hour (fruit will begin to bubble on the sides of the dish). Once the fruit mixture is bubbling, add the cornstarch and water and mix thoroughly. Set aside to cool slightly.

To Prepare the Cobbler topping:

Lightly roast the slivered almonds at 325 degrees until just slightly brown, cool and then grind in a food processor. Add the ground almonds to flour, the baking powder, and the salt in a small bowl and whisk together, and then set aside. Beat butter and sugar in medium bowl until light and fluffy. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes by hand or about 1 to 2 minutes by electric mixer. Beat in egg and lemon extract until smooth. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients until combined.

Once the fruit filling has cooled slightly spoon the topping evenly over the fruit. Return the cobbler to the oven. Bake until the topping is nicely browned and the fruit is bubbly. This should take about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes and serve warm with the Lemon Curd, and you can easily access that recipe by clicking on that recipe title.
