Cranberry Cobbler Crunch- Fantastic Holiday Dessert

Cranberry Cobbler
First of all, this really isn’t your typical cobbler, and not your typical cranberry dessert. It is more like a pudding cake, and the crystallized sugar on top adds a nice crunch and takes the tartness away from the dried cranberries.

This is a perfect dessert for a cold winter night, served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It’s also good for breakfast/brunch (I know)…but it is! It’s not too sweet, and goes great with a cup of coffee or tea. It is easy to make, but takes an hour to bake. You can serve it warm out of the oven, but it is just as good the next day, just warm it a little in the microwave oven. The top keeps it’s slight crunch from the Turbinado sugar

Serves: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups cranberries, dried
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, large
1 cup milk, I use 2% fat
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour, all purpose
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw

Preparation: Place cranberries in a small microwave safe bowl. Cover with water and cook in microwave for 1 minute and set aside to soften. Lightly butter and sugar a 9 inch pie or cake pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a microwave safe mixing bowl. Add sugar to butter and whisk together. Add milk, egg, and vanilla to the bowl and whisk together. Add flour and baking powder and whisk together. Pour batter into prepared pie pan.

Cranberries
Drain cranberries in a colander, shaking it around to make sure the water is fully drained.

Cranberries on top
Arrange softened cranberries over top of batter. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place baking dish in oven. Bake for approximately 1 hour until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.
Cranberry Cobbler
I sprinkle a little more sugar on top when I remove it from the oven.

Best served warm, and you can reheat individual pieces in the microwave later.

    Well, all I can say is that I have made this lots of times, and friends and family always like it. I know it serves 8…but I made it last night, cut it into 6 larger sized pieces, and then my husband and his brother each ate 2 pieces. So, we only got 6 servings out of it. Seriously, it is one of the BEST cranberry things I have made.

    This looks amazing. I thought I knew which desserts I was going to make, but now I am rethinking… maybe this is what I should make!!!

    I LOVE your colander. My mom and grandmother both have that one, and seeing yours brought back memories of cooking with them!

    Hi Liz:

    That is too funny about the colander. You know, I relocated recently due to my husband’s job, and my kitchen is a disaster. I just could not part with this thing…my mother gave it to me about 30 years ago! If you don’t make this for TG, make it for breakfast! Not kidding, it is much better than a muffin or coffee cake!
