Plum Cobbler
Plums get bold and jammy when you bake them up in this cobbler ~ just wait.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- 9-inch casserole, deep dish pie plate, or cast iron skillet
Ingredients
plums
- 7-8 plums, sliced, about 5-6 cups
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste, or vanilla extract
cobbler topping
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2/3 cup flour
- 3 Tbsp sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling.
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 6 Tbsp cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Toss the sliced plums with 1/4 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp cornstarch, and 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste. Turn into your casserole dish, skillet, or pie plate and set aside.
- Combine the 1/3 cup heavy cream with the 1 Tbsp lemon juice and set aside.
- In your food processor fitted with the steel blade pulse to combine 2/3 cup flour, 3 Tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp baking powder.
- Add the 6 Tbsp cold butter and pulse/process until the mixture is crumbly with no large pieces of butter remaining.
- Add the cream and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Take pieces of the dough and flatten slightly with your fingers as you arrange them across the surface of your plums. No need to be precise or neat, and it's fine that some of the fruit shows through. See photos in post for guidance.
- Sprinkle the surface with the additional 1 tablespoon of sugar. This gives the surface a nice crispy crackled finish.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
- Let cool slightly before serving topped with vanilla ice cream.
- Refrigerated leftovers will last 3 days.
