Apple-Blackberry Cobbler with Oat Crumble

Instructions

1 Peel and core the apples and slice them into eighths. Combine the sliced apples
with the melted butter in a mixing bowl and set aside.
2 In another bowl, combine the sugars, flour, cinnamon and salt. Pour ⅔ of this
mixture onto the apples and mix well—reserving the remaining sugar for the
berries.
3 Pour the seasoned apples into the Dutch oven and cook over medium heat,
uncovered, until a syrup forms and begins to bubble—about 5 minutes. Remove from
the heat, uncover and let cool while making the batter.
4 To make the batter, combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a
separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and mix to combine. Add the wet
ingredients to the dry and stir until the batter is smooth—about 2 minutes.
5 For the crumble, combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and work the
butter into the dry ingredients until the crumb holds together when you squeeze
it in your hand.
6 Build the cobbler by evenly pouring the batter over the par-cooked apples. Toss
the blackberries with the remaining ⅓ of the sugar and flour mixture and spread
them over the apples.
7 Evenly top the berries with the crumble mixture and place the Dutch oven over
the coals. Put the lid on the oven, cover it with a thick layer of coals and
cook at moderate heat for about 45 minutes—until the dough is set and the
crumble is golden. Allow the cobbler to cool, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes
before serving.
