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
 

For the Fruit:

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly butter and 8x10-inch baking dish.
  • Toss the fruit with the sugar, spices, flour, zest, and juice. Put the fruit in the dish.

For the Topping:

  • Mix the dry ingredients together, then cut in the butter using your fingers or two knives until it forms coarse crumbs. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla with a fork until the dough clings together when grabbed with your hand. If too dry, add a little more buttermilk until all the flour is moist enough to cohere.
  • Spoon the dough over the fruit using a small spoon to give the surface a cobbled appearance. For a smoother look, you can roll the dough and cut out biscuits.
  • Bake until the fruit is cooked and bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes. Let the cobbler sit for awhile before serving, but serve it warm.
