Why Every Kitchen Should Have Fruit Cobbler Mix

By James Olson


A lot of people think of dessert as the thing that brings balance to a meal at the end of the day. However, some cooks want to spend as little time as possible in the kitchen if they make the meals more than once a week. What they may not realize that fruit cobbler mix does not have to be reserved for deep dish pies.

While cobblers are the hot and hearty pies that make some salivate, these have many variations that are not necessarily high in calories. These may be served with or without ice cream on the side and some people do not even miss things like caramel sauce. One advantage of making these at home is the ability to control portions so one does not have to feel so guilty.

Although most cobblers are made with fruit, there are some recipes that call for sweet potatoes or recipes that may not require baking. Anyone can make a quick version by adding some fruit to a shallow pan and cooking until soft and adding prepared mixture. The mixture just has to stay in long enough for the mixture to have a crumble like texture.

It may be best to cut fruit into smaller pieces for faster cooking unless the mixture is to be cooked beforehand. If the mixture is not sweet enough, a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar syrup may be used. Since the taste is much sweeter than white sugar, try not to go overboard. Anyone trying this for the first time may want to taste the filling before adding the mixture.

If a person wanted to make a healthy, low sugar dessert, they can up the ante by adding a few extras to the cobbler mix. Sometimes ground cinnamon and vanilla extract bring out a natural sweetness in apples, carrots, and sweet potatoes. These can be added to the cooked ingredients before topping with cobbler mixture.

The great thing about having cobbler mix is that adding other ingredients, like dried fruit, grains, and nuts, adds to its versatility. The mixture can also be healthier by not adding butter or stick margarine. There are a few oils, like canola, that have a high smoke point and very little saturated fat. Also, most of these oils have a mildly sweet flavor or no taste that can take away from the recipe.

This mix can also be baked and used as a flavorful crumble used to top oatmeal, ice cream, or yogurt. One low calorie dessert that is ideal for warm weather is the fruit and yogurt parfait. By layering the crumble with fruit and yogurt in a bowl or glass, a treat can be made in minutes. It can also be added to pan fried apples or bananas.

Anyone who has ever made a fruit cobbler knows that it is one of the easiest desserts to make. Some like to save time by cooking their fruit in a skillet or adding canned pie filling before placing mixture in an oven. This can also be a convenient snack for those who like having someone sweet while on the go. It can be healthier than most candy treats by adding dried cranberries and walnuts for more sustenance.
