Peach and Plum Cobbler
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
2-1/2
cups thinly sliced unpeeled plums

2
cups thinly sliced peeled peaches

1-1/4
cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided

2
tablespoons frozen pineapple juice concentrate

1
tablespoon peach brandy or orange liqueuer

1/8
teaspoon ground cardamom

2
teaspoons sugar, divided

1-1/2
teaspoons baking powder

1/4
teaspoon salt

1
ounce cold reduced-fat cream cheese, cut into 6 pieces

1
tablespoon cold butter, cut into 6 pieces

1/4
cup low-fat (1%) milk, divided

1
egg



Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2.
Combine plums, peaches, 2 tablespoons flour, juice concentrate, brandy, and cardamom in medium bowl; toss gently. Spoon into prepared baking dish.

3.
Combine remaining 1-1/4 cups flour, 1-3/4 teaspoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl; mix well. Using pastry blender or two knives cut cream cheese and butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

4.
Reserve 1 teaspoon milk for glaze. Beat milk and egg in small bowl. Pour all at once into flour mixture; stir quickly with fork until just moistened. Place dough on lightly floured board.

5.
If dough is sticky, sprinkle with additional flour; knead 12 times. Roll dough into 8-inch square, about 3/4 inch thick.

6.
Place dough over top of fruit, pressing down around fruit at edges. Brush dough with reserved 1 teaspoon milk; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon sugar. Bake about 30 minutes or until top is lightly browned and fruit is tender. Serve warm topped with ice cream, if desired.


Note: To loosen peach skins for easy peeling, plunge peaches into boiling water for 30 seconds, then into cold water.
