BOYSENBERRY AND APPLE COBBLER

Serves 8.

Berry Mixture:

4 medium size apples, peeled, cored and roughly cut

1 1/2 Tbsp cornflour

1/3 cup sugar

4 cups boysenberries

1/8 cup water

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp lemon juice

Batter topping:

1 1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

50g butter

3 Tbsp of milk

Method

Preheat oven to 190C

In a saucepan add the apples a touch of water and cook over a medium heat until tender.  Mix cornflour, sugar, and water and add along with the boysenberries and cook on medium to medium high heat until mixture is thickened, about 15 minutes. Add butter and lemon juice. Pour into an 16cm baking dish.

Prepare the batter by rubbing the butter into the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt mixture, until you get coarse breadcrumb texture.  Add the milk and mix together quickly (i use a bread and butter knife) until the mixture just comes together.  Bring the mixture together with your hands and pluck off even sized portions of dough and drop over the berry mixture.

Bake 25-30 minutes at 190C.

Let cool slightly, serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
