Wichita, KS
Updated on Mar 23, 2018

This is a gluten-free version of a great-tasting dish. And, trust me, you will not miss the gluten. To finish this dish off, it must be served warm with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream, melting on the top. But, more on that later. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sweet essentials: blueberry and apple cobbler

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 3
    THE FILLING
  • Step 4
    Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
  • Step 5
    Add the diced apples to a small bowl, and then add 2 teaspoons of the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  • Step 6
    Add the blueberries.
  • Step 7
    Add the coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, half the lemon zest, and then toss to combine.
  • Step 8
    Place ingredients in a baking, or pie dish.
  • Step 9
    THE TOPPING
  • Step 10
    Chef’s Note: This topping produces a very dry crumbly topping that lovingly absorbs the ice cream, as melts over the cobbler. What I am saying is that the ice cream is an essential element of this recipe. If you are not using ice cream on the top, then I suggest you add additional liquid (milk, cream, etc.) to the topping ingredients before mixing and adding to the cobbler. A couple of tablespoons should do nicely.
  • Step 11
    In a small bowl, mix up all the ingredients for the topping.
  • Step 12
    Add to the top of the cobbler.
  • Step 13
    Place into the preheated oven, and bake until the topping is a golden brown, and the fruit is bubbling, about 18 – 20 minutes.
  • Step 14
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • Step 15
    Serve while still nice and warm (it has to be warm), with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy.
  • Step 16
    Keep the faith, and keep learning.
