Fruit cobbler topping pictures and tips

Use juicy summer fruit in cobblers for a healthy, easy dessert that you'd be proud to take to a celebration dinner. The pictures below are of the Feel-Good Peach Cobbler recipe in Wildly Affordable Organic, but the tips apply to any fruit cobbler: cherry, blueberry, and blackberry.

Prepare the fruit and bake until juicy while you make the biscuit topping. Putting the biscuits on hot fruit lets them cook through without burning. Add fruit right to the baking dish so you don't have to wash an extra bowl.

Cut flour into dry ingredients until the mix looks like coarse sand, but no more. Overhandling the dough will develop the gluten network and make the topping tough.

Add yogurt or other wet ingredient and process for about 10 seconds, until the dough forms a ball.

Pat biscuit topping out on a clean floured surface.

It's fun to use cut the dough into different shapes. Let kids try to cut shapes as close as possible. Roll up extra dough and recut. You'll have enough left over for four biscuits to bake plain and enjoy the next day.

Stir the hot fruit mixture, then arrange the biscuits evenly so they mark serving sizes. Keep the foil used to cover the fruit while it baked to cover any extra cobbler later.

I'd be proud to take this to a family reunion!
