Brandied Apricot Cobbler

Fruit layer:
1 dozen apricots pitted and cut in half – these can be canned, frozen or fresh
3 tablespoons brandy
1/3 cup brown sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Arrange apricots flat side down in the bottom of an 8 inch square or a 9 inch round baking dish. Drizzle the brandy over the fruit and then sprinkle with brown sugar and chopped nuts.

Cobbler Batter:
1 egg
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups flour
½ cup brown sugar

Soften the butter and mix with brown sugar. Add other ingredients and drop spoonfuls of batter over the fruit; then smooth to cover most of the fruit.

Bake for about 30 – 35 minutes or until crust is brown and springs back to a light touch.

Serve with vanilla ice cream. This is sweet and rich.
