How to Make Hampshire Fruit Cobbler

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously butter a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups of your favorite mixed fruit (berries, apples, peaches – get creative!), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Adjust sugar to your preference.
  4. Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the buttered casserole dish.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the fruit filling in the casserole dish.
  9. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.
  11. **Sauce:** While the cobbler bakes, prepare the sauce by blending 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg until smooth.
  12. Serve the warm cobbler topped with a generous dollop of the tangy lemon-nutmeg sauce.
