Heritage Apple and Wild Huckleberry Cobbler
Serving Size:8|Prep Time:20minutes|Cook Time:45minutes
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°
  2. In a large bowl, combine the 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples, huckleberries and orange juice; toss to coat. Transfer to an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish.
  3. For topping, combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apple puree and milk just until moistened. Assemble large spoonfuls of topping evenly onto the apple mixture. Sprinkle the top evenly with the sugar crystals.
  4. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean.
Chef’s Narrative
This cozy cobbler is the perfect subtlety sweet and tart early fall treat. Huckleberries are at their tastiest when they are on the bush and abundant. Put some away for the season as they freeze well.
Recipe Substitutions
Pears, Asian pears and quince are nice substitutes for the apples and any berry works well to replace huckleberries.
