Apricot Filling
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine the apricots, brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss gently to combine, set aside.
Cobbler Dough
Mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Add the pieces of butter and cut in with a pastry blender, fork or your fingers until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and milk. Pour into the bowl of the flour and stir gently until just combined.
Spread the apricots and any accumulated juices into a medium baking dish. Top with dollops of the cobbler dough. Sprinkle with extra sugar, if desired.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Serve as is, or with vanilla ice cream.
Tips and Techniques
- Fresh apricots work best, but you can use an equal amount of canned apricots, if needed.
- Depending on the ripeness of your apricots, you may want to add more brown sugar to the filling.
- Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator. Consume within 4-5 days for best results.
