Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet in oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Finely grind almonds in a food processor; transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the nutmeg; set aside.
- Brush a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk together remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the milk, egg, and liqueur in a medium bowl. Stir butter mixture into flour mixture. Spread batter evenly into buttered skillet.
- Stir together apricots, remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt, and the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Spread apricot mixture evenly over batter. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool in skillet on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.
SALTED APRICOT-HONEY COBBLER
Unlike most cobblers, which ask you to chop or slice the fruit, this one is meant to preserve the integrity of the apricots, which bake until totally tender, jammy and saucy, while still maintaining their shape and texture. The idea is to spoon out one of the barely sweetened, oaty shortcakes from the pan and then top it with the roasted, honey-sweetened fruit. Ice cream is optional but recommended.

Time 45m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the shortcake topping: Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using your hands, rub the butter into the flour mixture until there are no large chunks left. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and mix just until blended, then turn the dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
- Knead dough just until it's no longer super-sticky, and then pat the dough out so it's 1-inch thick. (The shape here doesn't matter; you'll be cutting out circles.) Using a 2-inch-round cutter, or something approximately that size (water glasses and Mason jars also work), punch out as many shortcakes as you can. Gently gather and re-pat the scraps so they're 1-inch thick and repeat until all the dough is used. You should have 8 or 9 shortcakes.
- Prepare the filling: Toss apricots with honey, cornstarch, lime juice and kosher salt in a 2-quart baking dish (an 8-by-11-inch or 9-by-13-inch dish will work), then flip the fruit so they are all cut-side up. The apricot pieces will overlap a bit, and this is fine. Top with shortcakes; they will puff and spread quite a bit, so leave them well spaced. The idea is to have lots of fruit exposed once baked, so don't worry about the shortcakes covering every square inch. Brush the shortcakes with cream, and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and flaky sea salt.
- Bake until shortcakes are golden brown and the juices of the apricot have thickened and bubbled up around the edges of the baking dish, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating (though it's even better at room temperature). This cobbler is the best the day it's made, but it can be baked a day ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature.
SWEET CHERRY AND APRICOT COBBLER
Steps:
- For the Buttermilk Biscuit Crust, place flour in a bowl and rub in 1 1/2 sticks of butter until fine and mealy. Do not allow to become pasty. Stir in 1 cup of the buttermilk, adding the remainder if necessary. Press dough together on a floured surface, wrap, and allow to rest while preparing filling.
- For the filling, combine the apricots and cherries in a bowl and toss with sugar. Pour into a buttered 2 1/2 to 3-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish. Dot with 3 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle evenly with the almond extract.
- Press the dough out on a floured surface until roughly the size of the baking dish. Lift dough onto filling and cut several vent holes in top. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake the cobbler at 450 degrees about 20 minutes, until crust is well colored and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly on a rack and serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

What is Apricot Cobbler Recipe?
If you are looking for something sweet and easy to make, then apricot cobbler should be on your list. This delicious dessert is made with fresh or canned apricots and topped with a crust of buttery biscuits. It is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion.What are Apricots?
Before diving into the recipe, let's first understand what apricots are. Apricots are small, golden-orange fruits that are a member of the stone fruit family (the same family as peaches, plums, and cherries). They are packed with vitamins A and C, as well as fiber and antioxidants. Apricots have a sweet and tangy taste, making them perfect for desserts.What is Cobbler?
Cobbler is a dessert that originated in the United States. It is made with a fruit filling, usually berries, peaches, or apples, and topped with a crust made of buttery biscuits. The biscuits are arranged on top of the fruit mixture and baked until golden brown. The result is a warm and comforting dessert that is perfect for any time of the year.How to Make Apricot Cobbler?
To make apricot cobbler, you will need the following ingredients:- 2 cups of fresh or canned apricots
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of milk
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Place the apricots in the bottom of the prepared baking dish and sprinkle them with 1/4 cup of sugar.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk and stir until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the apricots, covering them completely.
- Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes or until the biscuit crust is golden brown and the apricots are cooked through.
- Serve the cobbler warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Making the Perfect Apricot Cobbler
To make sure your apricot cobbler comes out perfectly, here are some tips you might find handy:- Make sure to use ripe and sweet apricots. If using canned apricots, choose ones that are packed in juice or light syrup.
- Use cold butter and handle it as little as possible. This will create a flaky and buttery biscuit crust.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough; it should be lumpy.
- You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
- If you want a sweeter cobbler, add more sugar to the apricots or sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of the biscuit crust before baking.
Variations of Apricot Cobbler
While the classic apricot cobbler is delicious on its own, you can also experiment with variations to suit your taste:- Add other fruits like peaches, berries, or cherries to the apricots for a mixed-fruit cobbler.
- Use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
- Swap the milk for coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
- Serve the cobbler with a drizzle of honey or caramel sauce instead of whipped cream or ice cream.
