Apricot-Almond Cobbler

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole raw almonds
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons almond-flavored liqueur, such as amaretto
1 1/2 pounds apricots, halved lengthwise, pitted, and cut into 3/4-inch-thick wedges
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toast the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet in the oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Finely grind the almonds in a food processor; transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the nutmeg; set aside.

    Step 2

    Brush a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, milk, egg, and liqueur in a medium bowl. Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture; spread evenly into the skillet.

    Step 3

    Stir the apricots, remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt, and the lemon juice in a medium bowl; spread evenly over the batter. Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the skillet on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.
