CHERRY-ALMOND SUGAR COOKIE COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir cookie mix, 1/2 cup softened butter, the cream cheese and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in almonds. Set aside.
• In 4-quart saucepan, mix 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar and 1/4 cup cornstarch. Stir in cherries. Cook over medium-high heat 10 to 12 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in almond extract. Pour into baking dish. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls evenly over filling (some cherries will show). Sprinkle coarse sparkling sugar on tops of cookie dough.
• Bake 30 to 34 minutes or until cookies are golden brown and edges of fruit filling are bubby. Cool 15 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 4 teaspoons cornstarch. Stir in half-and-half until smooth. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Keep warm until ready to serve.

CHERRY-ALMOND BREAKFAST COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch glass baking pan.
• Mix oats, almond flour, flax meal, sliced almonds, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until well combined.
• Whisk melted butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and almond extract in a small bowl or measuring cup until thoroughly combined and no lumps of yogurt remain. Add wet ingredients to dry, and stir until mixture is well combined. Set aside.
• Place frozen cherries into the prepared baking pan. Add 1/3 cup maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to combine until there are no dry clumps of cornstarch remaining. Spread cherry mixture evenly into the pan.
• Use a small measuring cup or ice cream scoop to place 9 even dollops of the oat mixture on top of the cherries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping in browned and cherries are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Tent the pan with aluminum foil if the topping begins to brown too quickly. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving; the filling will thicken as it cools.

CHERRY COBBLER WITH ALMOND-BUTTERMILK TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Place the cherries in a large bowl, and add the sugar, lemon juice and all-purpose flour. Carefully mix them together with a rubber spatula or a large spoon until the sugar and flour have dissolved into the liquids. Transfer to the baking dish, making sure to scrape out all of the liquid in the bowl.
• Sift all of the dry ingredients for the topping. If some of the cornmeal and almond flour remain in the sifter, just dump it into the bowl with the sifted flours. Place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse a few times. Add the butter, and pulse to cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Turn on the food processor, and pour in the buttermilk with the machine running. As soon as the dough comes together, stop the machine.
• Spoon the topping over the cherries by the heaped tablespoon. The cherries should be just about covered but may peek out here and there. Place in the oven, and bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is nicely browned and the cherries are bubbling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool to warm before serving. Serve warm (heat in a low oven for 15 minutes if necessary before serving).
