Steps:

PREP/PREPARE
Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
THE FILLING
Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
Add the diced apples to a small bowl, and then add 2 teaspoons of the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Add the blueberries.
Add the coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, half the lemon zest, and then toss to combine.
Place ingredients in a baking, or pie dish.
THE TOPPING
Chef's Note: This topping produces a very dry crumbly topping that lovingly absorbs the ice cream, as melts over the cobbler. What I am saying is that the ice cream is an essential element of this recipe. If you are not using ice cream on the top, then I suggest you add additional liquid (milk, cream, etc.) to the topping ingredients before mixing and adding to the cobbler. A couple of tablespoons should do nicely.
In a small bowl, mix up all the ingredients for the topping.
Add to the top of the cobbler.
Place into the preheated oven, and bake until the topping is a golden brown, and the fruit is bubbling, about 18 - 20 minutes.
PLATE/PRESENT
Serve while still nice and warm (it has to be warm), with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy.
Keep the faith, and keep learning.
