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 tablespoon 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 freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet in oven, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely. Finely grind almonds in a food processor; transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in flour, 3/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the nutmeg; set aside.
- Brush a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk together remaining 4 tablespoons butter, the milk, egg, and liqueur in a medium bowl. Stir butter mixture into flour mixture. Spread batter evenly into buttered skillet.
- Stir together apricots, remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt, and the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Spread apricot mixture evenly over batter. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool in skillet on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.
I have't used the processed fkour in years!! Just add bot of honey, some oats and maple syrup (very little)....yummy!!
Can I use whole wheat pastry flour in this recipe? I love cobblers but would like to make them with less sugar and not the all purpose flour.
