Nectarine Cobbler - Food network - Yummy

By Shirl

A lovely, not-too-sweet summer dessert that's equally delicious with peaches. Be sure to use only the ripest in-season fruit, and serve it warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

Ingredients

• Topping:
• 4 cups sliced nectarines
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/3 cup unpacked light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

To prepare the topping: In a medium-size bowl, stir together the flour, the sugar, and the baking powder. Add the milk and the butter and beat until smooth.

To prepare the filling: In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly, about 5-10 minutes. Pour into an ungreased 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Spoon the topping over the filling and spread carefully and evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake 30-40 minutes or until topping is lightly golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of topping comes out clean.
