APPLE BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and 1 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Stir in the half-and-half, mixing just until combined.
• Add the butter to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, tilting to coat evenly. Pour the batter over the butter in the baking dish, then set aside.
• Bring the berries, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, apples, 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes more. Pour the fruit and syrup over the batter in the baking dish without disturbing the batter layer.
• Bake until golden brown and puffed on top, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

BEST BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and process (or cut in using a pastry blender or two forks) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, if needed, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Pat dough into a square on work surface and cut into 9 equal squares.
• Whisk together cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add berries; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top berries with dough squares, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. To catch any juices that may bubble over when baking, place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and fitted with a wire rack or lay a piece of foil on the rack below the cobbler. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 50 to 75 minutes. If biscuits are browning too quickly, tent with foil. Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.
