Gluten-Free Cobbler With a Delicate Crunch


Peach Apple Blueberry Cobbler with Pecan Streusel Topping


This is of course in response to my previous post on food obsession. I had a taste for cobbler but also wanted something more than just cobbler (that's where the streusel came in). I also threw in a sprinkle of homemade granola just for kicks. Here is the recipe. Enjoy!


Ingredients
1 cup gluten-free mix (recipe below)
2 eggs
2 Tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
1 tsp vanilla flavor
1/3 cup liquid (buttermilk, milk, nondairy liquid, fruit juice, or carbonated drink)
1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
4-6 cups fruit of your choice
1 Tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder, or rice flour)
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

GF Mix Recipe
2 1/2 cups rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp egg replacer
1 1/2 tsp xanthum gum
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp dried lemon peel or powdered vanilla
*Store in airtight container.

Pecan Streusel Topping
1/2-1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup GF mix
1/3 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
4 ts orange juice
*Combine & set aside.

To Make Cobbler
1. Place 1 cup gluten-free mix in a mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs, 2 Tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter, 1 tsp vanilla flavor, and 1/3 cup liquid (buttermilk, milk, nondairy liquid, fruit juice, or carbonated drink).
3. Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture & mix until smooth. Don't overbeat.
4. For filling, in a saucepan combine 1/3 to 2/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, 4-6 cups fruit of your choice, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 Tbsp cornstarch. Cook & stir until slightly thickened and bubbly.
5. Place fruit mixture into an 8x8" pan. Drop dough by spoonfuls on top of fruit. Top with pecan streusel topping & bake in a preheated 350˚ oven for 20-25 min. Serve warm with ice cream.
