Clean Eating Peach Almond Cobbler

Clean Eating Peach Cobbler Recipe

I buy my agave at Costco. It’s a fantastic deal. And with those two bottles comes a little hang-tag that has a recipe on the back. A recipe for fruit cobbler.

Well, I just couldn’t let that one pass me buy with all the peaches I have hanging around here at the moment.

And being the cook that I am, I just couldn’t leave the recipe alone. I just HAD to change it, add to it, and personalize it. I just cannot help myself. It’s a sickness really.

But the good news is, from my mental instability culinary creativity comes some really yummy recipes!

I should tell you that this recipe looks like it will be very time consuming. But the truth is, once the pie crust was made and the peaches were chopped, I put the whole thing together in under 10 minutes.

Clean Eating Peach Almond Cobbler
(Makes 15 servings)

PASTRY INGREDIENTS
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup safflower oil
1/2 cup milk or unsweetened soy milk or unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup agave or honey
1 tsp. vanilla

FILLING INGREDIENTS
6 cups peaches, chopped
1/2 cup agave or honey
1 tsp. tapioca starch or cornstarch
2/3 cup sliced almonds

TOPPING
Cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Milk or unsweetened soy milk or unsweetened almond milk(for brushing over crust)

Directions

PASTRY
Step 1 – Knead all ingredients together in a bowl.

Step 2 – Roll out dough on a flat work surface until it is no more than 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3 – Using a pizza cutter, cut 1/2 inch strips about the length of the casserole dish you will be baking the cobbler in. (Both width and length wise)

FILLING

Step 1 – In your casserole dish, mix all filling ingredients together with a spatula.

______________________________________
Now preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
______________________________________

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Step 1 – Since your filling is already in the casserole dish, all you have to do is weave your pastry strips “under and over”.

Step 2 – Using a pastry brush, brush your milk over the pastry.

Step 3 – Sprinkle a light layer of cinnamon over the top of the cobbler.

Step 4 – Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. The filling should be nice and bubbly when it’s done.

Note: This recipe will use only about half the pastry dough. What a great time to make an extra cobbler for a friend!

Eat and Enjoy!

Munchkin Helpers:

If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).

The most kid-friendly part of this recipe is the pastry dough. Kids love to knead the dough and roll it out. Smaller kids will need help with the rolling as this dough can be a little tough, even for adults.

Caution: Any time a child is in the kitchen, they will require close supervision. Munchkin Helpers suggestions should be applied with common sense to your own child, taking their own capabilities into account. Do not assume that because it says here that your child can do something, that they can, in fact do it. Please use common sense when in the kitchen with your child(ren).

    O sounds so yummy! What clean eating items do you get at costco? I am trying to figure out where to shop for the best deals and am confused!

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Angela – You can find my store breakdown here: http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/free-docs/Grocery-Store-Break-Down.pdf

  • Meg

    is there something i can substitute for the safflower oil?

  • Jodi

    Our local Walmart has organic agave syrup, King Arthur’s white whole wheat flour and quite a bit of organic produce. Kroger has even more selections. We also have a local health food store called Good Food Grocery where we can grind peanuts, cashews or almonds into the respective nut butters. They have regular (red) and white whole grain wheats that we can grind freshly as needed. They have other grains like spelt, oats, rye, etc as whole grains, too but one would need a home mill to grind them. The 2 kinds of wheat are in bins that dispense directly into the mills and then into a container or bag as ground flour. They don’t get
    mixed with anything else. Same with the nuts for nut butters.
    I’ve gotten some of the whole grains as well as flax and chia seeds. When I’ve recuperated a bit more from my sinus surgery (4 days ago) and have my Dr’s OK I’m going to plant a couple of rows of each and see how they grow. It will give us extra greens for the poultry flocks and may be useful as cover crops/green manures to undersow in the other parts of the garden. I also need to plant greens and “roots” for fall and winter harvest. It’s been so hot very little germinated. I hope it will be cool enough soon.
    Peaches! My absolute favorite fruit. I think if I had an abundance I would make a fresh peach pie. Mmmm.

    Meg – Corn, almond, walnut or even olive oil will work just fine.

    Jodi – Sounds yummy. And now you’ve got me wanting pie as well. Hmmm……..

  • Jodi

    Ok Here are my recipes:
    Pie Crust
    1/2 cup soft butter, Earth Balance spread or oil
    1 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour
    Mix together and spread into a 9″ pie plate, pressing crumbs firmly up the sides and over the bottom of the plate.
    Bake at 400F about 20 minutes until pie crust is very lightly browned. let cool completely

    Glaze
    1cup water
    3/4 cup agave or light flavored honey (Tupelo or clover blossom-ya don’t want the honey flavor overwhelming the fruit) or 1 cup organic sugar
    2 tsp agar powder or 1 Tbs agar flakes
    1Tbs lemon juice
    a few grates of lemon zest
    1 cup crushed strawberries or ripe peaches (other berries work, too. I’ve made this with a mixture)
    Bring water, lemon juice and zest, agar powder or flakes and agave to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat and simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in crushed berries/peaches.
    Chill until jelled. This should be a soft jel not stiff like jello.

    To serve the pie:
    Fill the cooled pie crust with sliced ripe peaches, strawberries or a mixture of berries. Give the glaze a good stir and spoon over the fruit in the pie crust. You can cut the fruit ahead of time but to keep the crust from getting soggy it’s best to assemble right before you serve it. Cut in wedges and serve topped with greek yogurt lightly sweetened with agave and vanilla. Or whatever you like.

    Thanks Jodi! I’ll give it a try the next time I buy peaches!

    Ooh, lovely! I buy my agave at Costco too. It’s a shame, because I adore the flavor of raw agave but they don’t carry it. =\ But I’m still in love with their prices so I give in and get the light agave. ;) I never even noticed the tags on them, though. o.O

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Mo – I think there’s a second recipe on there too. Give it a try!

  • Emily

    Do you put any of the pastry on the bottom to form a crust, or just on top?

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Emily – Just on top.

  • James

    I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow. Can I freeze the rest of the pastry dough? I don’t need to make two cobblers. Thanks, I just made your banana muffins and they were delicious!

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    James – Glad you liked the muffins! I’ve never tried to freeze the dough, so I can’t honestly answer that. I ended up making pot pies with the rest. I guess the only thing you can do is try it and see how it turns out. Wish I could be more help on that one. You could also just cut the recipe in half.

  • Kim

    Do you think this recipe will work with a berry medley?

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Kim – It probably would!

  • April

    What temp?

  • Anonymous

    April – Sorry, just updated the recipe. It’s 350 F.
