This is another Southern Living recipe that I really like. The cobbler is just a little bit different from your average cobblers in that not only does it have blackberries in it, it's also flavored with a cream cheese crust, apples, orange juice and lemon juice. Talk about bursting with flavor! This is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup butter, softened plus |
1 tablespoon butter, softened |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
4 cups fresh blackberries |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup apple, peeled and thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
2 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon rind |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon butter |
vanilla ice cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter.
2. Combine the flour and salt in another bowl; stir into the cream cheese mixture.
3. Pour the orange juice over the cream cheese/flour mixture.
4. Stir with a fork just until moistened; shape into a ball and chill for 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
6. Divide the dough in half and press one half on the bottom and sides of a greased 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
7. The dough should come to within 1 inch of the top of the dish.
8. In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, apples, lemon juice, lemon rind, and vanilla; bring to a boil and let boil for 10 minutes.
9. Pour over the crust in the prepared baking dish.
10. With the remaining dough half, shape irregular pieces about 1/4 thick.
11. Place the dough pieces on top of the fruit in a patchwork fashion, leaving some fruit exposed.
12. Dot with the remaining 1 T butter.
13. Bake at 425 degrees for 40 minutes or until the cobbler is golden.
14. Serve warm in dessert dishes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
