How to cook deliciously - Apricot Cobbler
1. Stage
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in a saucepan. Stir in the water until the mixture is smooth. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then cook and stir it for one minute. Reduce the heat. Add the drained apricot halves and butter, then heat them through. Pour the apricot filling into a greased shallow 2-quart baking dish. Editor's Tip: A deep 9-inch pie dish also works well for this recipe if you don't have a 2-quart dish.
2. Stage
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the milk just until the dough is moistened. Spoon the dough over the hot apricot mixture. You won't have enough biscuit topping to completely cover the apricot filling—and that's a good thing! Areas of exposed fruit allow steam to escape in the oven, which helps to thicken the filling and keeps the topping from getting soggy. Bake the cobbler at 400°F until it's golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Editor's Tip: To prevent a possible mess in your oven, place a rimmed baking sheet below the baking dish to catch any filling that might bubble over.
