-
1 pound dark sweet cherries, pitted, or one 16-ounce package frozen dark sweet cherries, thawed*
-
1/4 cup cold water
-
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute** equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar
-
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange sliced peaches and cherries in a 10-inch quiche dish. In a small bowl, combine the water and the 4 teaspoons flour; pour over fruit.
2.
For cobbler dough: In a medium bowl, combine the 3/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; add egg and milk all at once. Stir just until moistened.
3.
Drop dough by spoonfuls into 8 to 10 mounds on top of the fruit. In a small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over the dough.
4.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean and fruit mixture is bubbly on edges. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm. If desired, serve with dessert topping. Makes 8 (about 3/4-cup) servings.
Test Kitchen Tip
