Apply cranberry cobbler-Take 1

I was out to dinner with co-workers last week. And the restaurant we were at had an advertised Apply cranberry cobbler.

It sounded intriguing.

SO I came home and searched the Internet.

I found quite a few recipes, none were GF, and most were complicated or required special equipment and ingredients. So I created this amalgamation of my own from a couple of different locations.

Apple cranberry cobbler

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 10 cup thinly sliced peeled sweet-tart apple (about 6 large)
• TOPPING:
• 3/4 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold butter or margarine
• ¼ C oatmeal
• ¼ C Crushed almonds
• 1/4 cup milk
Directions
To prepare filling, combine sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add cranberries and apple; toss well to coat. Spoon apple mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish
In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk to form a soft dough. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls over apple mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 20-35 minutes or until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean.

First attempt-Toping is very rough and thick. Closer to a shortcake then a cobbler. Cooked to a nice golden brown.

But top was done when apples were still hard.

Not just firm, but barley cooked at all.
And I think it had too many cranberries.
