There's nothing quite like a warm cobbler on a chilly Autumn evening. Juicy fruits and a little sweetness will bring your senses to life and have you feel that warmth we crave on dark nights.
Pre-heat the oven to 160°C and grease a deep ovenproof dish with some butter.
Peel and core the apples into bite size pieces. Place all the fruit filling ingredients into a saucepan and bring to the boil – then simmer for five minutes and add to the bottom of the ovenproof dish.
Add the flour to a mixing bowl and lightly rub in the 50g of cubed butter with your fingertips.
Next, stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Add the egg and water and whisk through with a fork to form a batter like consistency.
With a large tablespoon, start dropping spoonful's of the batter over the fruit – leaving gaps for the fruit to peek through.
Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown on top.
Serve with some custard or vanilla ice-cream for a real homely dessert.
