Ingredients
FOR THE FRUIT BOTTOM
4 cups chopped, fresh or * frozen rhubarb
3 cups peeled, sliced apples
1/4 cup liquid honey
grated rind of one lemon or orange, optional
FOR THE TOPPING
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 liquid honey
1/4 cup lemon juice or orange juice (bottled juice is fine)
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, or your choice of nuts
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
Directions
FOR THE FRUIT BOTTOM
Grease or spray with non-stick cooking spray, a 9" x 13" oven baking dish.
Arrange the chopped rhubarb and the sliced apples evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
Add the lemon or orange rind on top of the fruit in the dish (optional).
FOR THE TOPPING
In a large bowl, whisk or use a fork to mix together the egg, milk, melted butter, honey and the lemon or orange juice.
Add the whole wheat flour, chopped nuts, baking powder, baking soda and the salt to the egg mixture by sprinkling them on top of the wet ingredients, do not stir the dry ingredients in.
Then, gently stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, stirring just until moistened and combined. Do not over-mix.
Pour the topping mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
Bake at 375° F for about 30 - 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cobbler comes out clean.
Makes about 10 - 12 servings of a healthy apple cobbler!
Serve warm or cool plain, or with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream.
ENJOY!
