Apple cobbler with biscuit topping

Apple cobbler with biscuit topping is a quick dessert. We’ve lightened up the biscuit topping to keep this dessert healthy and calorie-wise, but it will still be satisfying. Nice with a dollop of thick Greek yoghurt, or a scoop of ice cream.

Apple cobbler with biscuit topping

Prep time:  15 mins

Cook time:  40 mins

Total time:  55 mins

Yield: Makes 1.2 kg. 6 servings of ¾ cup / 200 g

Serving size: ¾ cup / 200 g

Calories: 203

Fat: 1.1 g

Ingredients

• 1 litre jar of home canned apple slices (1 US quart / 32 oz in size)
• 150 g self-rising flour (5 oz / 1 cup)
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional). Or nutmeg.
• 1½ tablespoons fat-free yoghurt
• 150 ml skim milk (2/3 cup / 5 oz) milk
• 1 teaspoon liquid stevia (optional)

Instructions

1. Spray a 1 litre (quart) baking dish. Empty apples in, juice and all.
2. Mix flour with cinnamon or nutmeg, if using.
3. Make a well in the centre of the flour, put in the milk, yoghurt, and liquid stevia, if using.
4. Mix well. It will make a very sticky dough.
5. Drop dough by spoonfuls over top of the apple.
6. Spray top with cooking spray (helps with browning.)
7. Bake 40 minutes at 175 C ( 350 F)

Notes

It's up to you if you want to sweeten the dough or not. We do. After all, it is a dessert, and thus the liquid stevia. You could use a few tablespoons of honey instead. If you want to use a solid sweetener, such as say 4 tablespoons of refined white sugar, mix it with the flour before adding the liquids.

Instead of the self-rising flour you can use: 150g (5 oz / 1 cup) ordinary flour (all-purpose or plain) plus ¼ teaspoon salt plus 1½ teaspoons baking powder
