Ingredients

Scale

6 cups fresh apricots, pitted and sliced

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3/4 cup whole milk (or buttermilk)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the apricots by slicing and removing pits. If using canned, drain well; if frozen, thaw and drain.

3. In a bowl, mix apricots with sugar, cornstarch, salt, vanilla, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat.

4. Pour the fruit mixture into the baking dish and level it out.

5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

6. Add cold, cubed butter and cut it in using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.

7. Stir in milk and vanilla until just combined. Do not overmix.

8. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the apricot mixture, leaving some gaps.

9. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.

10. Bake for 35–45 minutes until the topping is golden and filling bubbles.

11. Let it cool for 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

12. Serve warm with ice cream or chilled with whipped cream.

Notes

Use firm, ripe apricots for the best texture and avoid overripe ones that may turn mushy.

Chill your butter and avoid overworking the biscuit dough for a light, tender topping.

Let the cobbler rest after baking to allow the filling to thicken properly.
