This cobbler uses summer’s bounty to its fullest. Tossing the fruit with maple and cinnamon add a subtle sweetness. A sprinkling of crunch topped with homemade strudel “cookies” add a touch of exotic. Final result — spectacular!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
Grease a deep 10-inch (26-cm) round or square pan. Place sliced peaches and cherries in a large bowl. Add remaining filling ingredients and toss well. Transfer fruit filling to pan.
Combine all crunch ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle over fruit filling.
Place all cookie topping ingredients except for the scant tablespoon sugar and two tablespoons orange juice in mixer. Beat until you have a cookie batter consistency.
Gently flour surface and roll out the dough. Use either a cookie cutter or a cup to cut round slices. Pierce each cookie multiple times with a fork. Layer the cookies over the crunch, overlapping slightly. Pour remaining two tablespoons orange juice into a cup. Baste the cookie topping with the orange juice. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar. Bake for 45 minutes.
Notes:
Feel free to substitute any combination of fresh fruits such as apples and cherries or pears and strawberries to make this a year-round delicacy.
