History of Apple Cobbler
The origins of apple cobbler can be traced back to England, where it was known as a "crumble" or "brown betty". The dish was originally made with leftover bread that was mixed with sugar and fruits, then baked in a dish. Over time, the recipe evolved to include a buttery dough or crumb topping, which is now the hallmark of the classic American apple cobbler. Today, there are countless variations of this dish, but the basic components remain the same - a fruity filling topped with a crumbly topping.Ingredients
To make apple cobbler with poached dried figs, you will need the following ingredients:- 6 cups of thinly sliced apples.
- 1 cup of dried figs.
- 1/2 cup of sugar.
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.
- 1/4 tsp of nutmeg.
- 1/4 tsp of salt.
- 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter.
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour.
- 3/4 cup of rolled oats.
- 1/2 cup of loosely packed brown sugar.
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
- 1/2 cup of whole milk.
Apples
The key to a successful apple cobbler is choosing the right apples. You want an apple that will hold its shape when baked, but still be tender and juicy. Some good choices include Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, and Braeburn apples.Dried Figs
Dried figs are a great addition to this dish as they add a deep, earthy flavor and chewy texture. Make sure to choose figs that are plump and moist.Oats and Walnuts
The crumbly topping of an apple cobbler is usually made with flour, butter, and sugar. However, adding rolled oats and chopped walnuts adds texture and nutty flavor to the topping.Preparation
Here are the steps to prepare apple cobbler with poached dried figs:- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the dried figs and let simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the figs and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Fold in the poached figs and spread the fruit mixture evenly in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and walnuts. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the cream and milk, and stir until just combined. Spread the crumbly mixture evenly over the fruit filling, making sure to cover all the edges.
- Bake the cobbler for 45-50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
