STONE FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: Toss the stone fruits, lemon juice, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well mixed. Transfer to a large cast-iron skillet.
• For the topping: Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the shortening and rub it in with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the butter and cut it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until incorporated with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Add the buttermilk and fold in until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened.
• Drop heaping spoonfuls of the topping mixture onto the stone fruits, spacing them 1 inch apart. Sprinkle the topping with the sesame seeds.
• Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or warm with ice cream, if you'd like.
