Description
Indulge in the sweet, juicy goodness of this homemade plum cobbler recipe. This classic dessert features a buttery, flaky crust and a filling made with ripe, flavorful plums. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly comforting treat.
Ingredients
– 6 cups sliced fresh plums
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
– 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat the plums evenly.
3. 3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and chilled butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. 4. Gradually add the cold water, mixing just until the dough comes together.
5. 5. Transfer the plum mixture to a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
6. 6. Roll out the dough and place it over the plum filling, or cut the dough into strips and create a lattice top.
7. 7. Bake the cobbler for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. 8. Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

For a deeper flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the plum filling. You can also experiment with different types of plums, such as red or yellow, to create unique variations of this classic dessert.
