Apple Cobbler

Make the biscuit crust: Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Toss together all dry ingredients. Add cream.

Knead the dough by patting and folding about 10 times.

Roll out dough to 1/2-inch-thick dough and cut into desired size.

Brush with melted butter. Bake 1-inch apart for 12 to 15 minutes.

Preheat oven at 400ºF.

Make the apple filling: Toss together apples, berries, raisins or currants, sugar, and lemon zest. Set aside for 5 to 10minutes.

Place in a baking dish (large or individual). Dot with butter.

Spoon the crust over the filling, until covered. Top with nuts.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes then lower to 375ºF, and bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until bubbly. Cool slightly and serve with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.

Apple tip: When exposed to oxygen, apples tend to brown. Slice the apples just right before baking to prevent them from turning an unappealing shade.

Substitution tip:  No cake flour? No problem! For every 1 cup cake flour your recipe needs, substitute with 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
