Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup cold water
4 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons heat-stable granular sugar substitute or 2 tablespoons honey
3 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened peach slices, peeled
2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries and/or blueberries
1/3 cup low-fat yogurt, plain
1 slightly beaten egg
Ground ginger or ground cinnamon (optional)
1. For topping, in a medium bowl stir together whole wheat
pastry flour, baking powder, ginger or cinnamon, and kosher salt. Using a
pastry blender, cut in oil until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set
aside.
2. For filling, in a large saucepan stir together the water and cornstarch
until combined. Stir in sugar substitute or honey. Add peach slices. Cook
and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in raspberries and/or
blueberries. Cook, stirring gently, until bubbly. Cover and keep hot while
finishing topping.
3. To finish topping, in a small bowl stir together yogurt and egg. Add
yogurt mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened.
4. Divide filling among 8 6-ounce custard cups or 4 10- to 12-ounce
casseroles.* Drop the topping from a spoon onto the hot filling. Drop 1
mound into each custard cup or 2 mounds into each casserole. Place custard
cups or casseroles on a baking sheet.
5. Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
into topping comes out clean. Cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with
additional ginger or cinnamon. Serve warm.
*Note: To make one large cobbler, transfer hot filling to a 2-quart square
baking dish. Drop topping from a spoon into 8 mounds on top of hot
filling. Bake in a 400 F oven about 20 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted into topping comes out clean.
