Ingredients

Cobbler topping

1 1/2 cup (225g) flour

1 tablespoon caster sugar

3 teaspoon baking powder

120 gram butter, cubed

3/4 cup (185ml) buttermilk

2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into wedges

2 pears, peeled, cored, cut into wedges

300 gram packet frozen mixed berries

1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar

1 tablespoon demerara sugar

custard or ice-cream, to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Place apple, pear, berries and sugar in a 6-cup ovenproof dish and toss to combine. Bake for 15 minutes.

2.Meanwhile, make topping: Place flour, caster sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add buttermilk and mix to combine.

3.Dollop spoonfuls of topping roughly over fruit and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until topping is risen and golden. Set aside for 15 minutes before serving with custard or ice-cream.

Tip: Leave a little fruit uncovered – it looks more attractive if the filling is visible among the golden topping.
