Berry Cobbler!

What you need:
2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
2 cups raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
pastry for 1 double pie crust


What to do:

1. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch.  Add the strawberries and raspberries, and gently toss until the berries are coated.
2. Line the pie plate with half of the pastry.  Stir the berry mixture, and then transfer it to the pie plate.  Top with the second crust, and seal and crimp the edges.  Cover the edge of the pie with foil.
3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes.  Remove the foil, and bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.  Allow the pie to cool.

This pie is SO easy to make, and really good!  Also, you can substitute the raspberries and strawberries for blueberries or blackberries.  Give it a try! :)

Apple Cobbler!

What you need:

1/2 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces

1 cup sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

1.5 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

3 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Heirloom)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place butter in a 2-quart baking dish, and place dish in oven until butter has melted.
2. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add milk, stirring to combine.
3. In a large bowl, toss apples with cinnamon.  
4. Pour batter into prepared baking dish (DO NOT stir batter and butter together, just pour batter over butter), and scatter apples over batter (make sure the apples aren't pressing against the edges of the dish).
5. Bake until cobbler is light brown and bubbly, 30 to 45 minutes.   

• For extra sweetness, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, if desired!

This apple cobbler is delicious!  It's not too sweet, so it could be served as either a breakfast, or dessert!  It's extremely easy to make, and the ingredients are common items that most people have in their kitchens.  Try it out!
