Ingredients
  

For the Fruit

  • 6-8 cups peeled and sliced ripe summer stone fruit (any combination of peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, nectarines, or blueberries)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • grated zest of 1 lemon

For the Cobbler Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly butter a 8×10 inch baking dish.
  • Peel and slice the fruit. Combine the fruit in a large mixing bowl with the sugar, cinnamon, flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
  • Mix the dry ingredients for the cobbler topping in a separate mixing bowl. Then cut in the butter using your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla using a fork until the dough clings together.
  • Put the fruit mixture in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the dough over the fruit using a small spoon to give the surface a cobbled appearance.
  • Bake at 350F until the fruit is cooked and bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes.
