Vegan Nectarine Peach Plum Cobbler Recipe

For the filling

1 pound nectarines
1 pound peaches
1 pound plums
3 Tablespoons arrowroot powder or tapioca starch
1/3 cup sugar
Zest of one orange
1 Tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg

For the topping

2/3 cup non-dairy milk
1 Tablespoon orange juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
¼ cup soy flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup Regular Vegan Butter or margarine

1) Prepare the cobbler filling

Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). For the filling, cut the stone fruits into ½-inch thick slices. Place the sliced fruit in a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and toss well to thoroughly coat the fruit. Transfer to and 8 x 8 inch square baking dish and set aside while preparing the topping.

2) Prepare the non-dairy milk and orange juice mixture

In a small bowl, place the non-dairy milk, orange juice and vanilla. Stir to combine and set aside.

3) Prepare the topping

In a medium bowl add the whole wheat flour, soy flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir to combine. Cut the Vegan Butter into small pieces and thoroughly cut it into the dry ingredients with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the non-dairy milk mixture to the topping mixture and stir well to combine.  

4) Assemble the cobbler

Starting at the outer edge of the baking dish, drop the topping mixture over the fruit mixture in small spoonfuls. Spread the topping gently to cover the fruit filling. The topping should appear bumpy and should not necessarily cover all of the fruit.

5) Bake the vegan cobbler to perfection

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly before serving. Serve the cobbler warm with sorbet or non-dairy ice cream. This recipe makes about 4 to 6 servings of Vegan Nectarine Peach Plum Cobbler.
