Ingredients
6 cups fresh plums, pitted and diced
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon brandy
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the topping:
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup whole milk
coarse sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the diced plums, sugar, brandy, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix well until the plums are evenly coated.
- Spread the plum mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or a food processor to cut the butter into the mixture until it is pea-sized crumbs.
- Add in the milk and mix until evenly combined.
- Spoon the dough over the top of the plum filling, spreading it slightly to cover most of the fruit. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
