Cherry Peach Cobbler

This sounded too good not to pass along!

 Cherry Peach Cobbler

1     Pound peaches, halved, pitted, and sliced, or one 16-ounce package frozen unsweetened peach slices, thawed*
1     Pound dark sweet cherries, pitted, or one 16-ounce package frozen dark sweet cherries, thawed*
1/4     Cup cold water
4     Teaspoons all-purpose flour
3/4     Cup all-purpose flour
2     Tablespoons sugar or sugar substitute** equivalent to 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2     Teaspoons baking powder
2     Tablespoons butter
1     Egg, slightly beaten or Egg Beater
3     Tablespoons fat-free milk
1     Teaspoon sugar or sugar substitute** equivalent to 1 teaspoon sugar
1/2     Teaspoon ground cinnamon
    Frozen fat-free whipped dessert topping, thawed (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange sliced peaches and cherries in a 10-inch quiche dish. In a small bowl, combine the water and the 4 teaspoons flour; pour over fruit.

2. For cobbler dough: In a medium bowl, combine the 3/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and the baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; add egg and milk all at once. Stir just until moistened.

3. Drop dough by spoonfuls into 8 to 10 mounds on top of the fruit. In a small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon sugar and the cinnamon; sprinkle over the dough.

4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean and fruit mixture is bubbly on edges. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm. If desired, serve with dessert topping. Makes 8 (about 3/4-cup) servings.

*Tip: If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely but do not drain the fruit before adding to the quiche dish.

*Sugar Substitutes: Choose from Splenda® Granular or Sweet 'N Low® bulk or packets. Follow package directions to use product amounts equivalent to 2 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon sugar.
