How to Make Dieter's Cherry Apple Cobbler
- **Prepare the Biscuit Topping:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- **Cut in the Butter:** Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Set Aside:** Set the biscuit topping aside.
- **Make the Cherry Apple Filling:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together ½ cup cold water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- **Add Cherries:** Add 2 cups frozen pitted cherries to the saucepan.
- **Cook the Filling:** Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a bubbly boil. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- **Add Apples:** Stir in 2 cups peeled and sliced apples.
- **Heat Through:** Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the apples are heated through and tender.
- **Reduce Heat and Keep Warm:** Reduce the heat to low and keep the filling warm.
- **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons milk.
- **Combine Wet and Dry:** Add the egg mixture to the biscuit topping, stirring gently just until moistened. Do not overmix.
- **Assemble the Cobbler:** Transfer the hot cherry apple filling to a 2-quart square baking dish.
- **Top with Biscuits:** Immediately spoon the biscuit topping over the filling, forming 9 small mounds.
- **Bake:** Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of a biscuit comes out clean.
- **Serve Warm:** Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
