I. Ingredients:

To make a delicious Cobbler infused with CBD, gather the following ingredients:

For the fruit filling:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (such as peaches, berries, or cherries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)

For the cobbler topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

II. Equipment:

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment:

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk or fork
  • Pastry cutter or two knives (for cutting in the butter)
  • 9×9-inch baking dish or similar size
  • Spoon or spatula for mixing

III. Step-by-Step Instructions:

A. Preparing the Fruit Filling:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the fruit to release some of its juices.

B. Incorporating CBD:

To infuse CBD into your Cobbler, you can use CBD oil drops.

  1. After preparing the fruit filling, add 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the mixture and stir well to ensure even distribution of CBD throughout the fruit.

C. Making the Cobbler Topping:

  1. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

D. Assembling and Baking the Cobbler:

  1. Pour the fruit filling into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  2. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the fruit, covering it as much as possible.
  3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the cobbler topping is golden brown.
  4. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

              and Variations:

  • Fruit Variation: Feel free to experiment with different fruits or a combination of fruits for your Cobbler. Some popular choices include peaches, berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), cherries, or apples. Adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose.
  • Spice it up: Add a touch of warmth and flavor to your Cobbler by incorporating spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom into the fruit filling. Sprinkle a little on top of the cobbler topping as well for an extra aromatic touch.
  • Nutty Topping: For added texture and flavor, you can mix chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans) into the cobbler topping before baking. It adds a delightful crunch to each bite.
  • Ice Cream or Whipped Cream: Serve your warm Cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. The creamy and cold contrast with the warm cobbler is a match made in dessert heaven.

 V. Serving and Storage:

Once your Cobbler infused with CBD is baked to golden perfection, it’s time to serve and enjoy this delightful treat. Here are some serving and storage tips:

  1. Serving: Serve the Cobbler warm, straight from the oven. It pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. You can also dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
  2. Storage: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The Cobbler will keep well for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or enjoy them cold.
