Cobbler Makin’

So, have you ever seen www.gizoogle.com?  Go ahead. Try it on CNN.  I dare you. I just about choked. See your whole world the Snoop Dogg way!

Tonight I decided to make dessert instead of dinner. After all, is life truly lived unless you periodically consume baked goods?  I think not. So salad and cobbler with ice cream it was. Also, I’ve been getting (and then forgetting about) the yummy apples that came with my organic food delivery. I could not possibly let these apples go to waste, now could I?  And it’s such a simple recipe!

Preheat your oven to 400 and get out an 8×8 baking dish.

Put 6 cups of sliced, peeled apples into a pot with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp of water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 pinches each of cinnamon and ground ginger.  Bring it to a boil, then turn it down and let it simmer for five minutes.  At the end of 5 minutes, mix together 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp corn starch in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix this into the hot apple mixture and stir in until it’s thickened and bubbly.

Meanwhile, put a cup of flour in a bowl with 1 tsp baking powder, 2 dashes cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix together, then cut in 3 tbsp butter.  Mix up an egg and 3 tbsp milk separately, and then add to flour mixture. Stir in milk and mix until just combined.

Pour apple mixture into the baking dish. Put spoonfuls of the dough on top, spreading them out evenly. Bake for 20-30 minutes until dough is done (fork comes clean). EAT WITH ICE CREAM.  Like so:

Mmmmmm.  You are done. And if you are me, you are done AND you need sleep from all that food. But I will leave you with a picture of me and Callie.  Because my cat has been kind to me lately, and I needed a cat to snuggle sometimes.
