Still Eating
I know this isn’t a recipe blog, but I figured I’d share the Cherry-Apricot Cobbler recipe, too, since it was so good. Someone might care, right?
Anyway, its really simple. I use a baking mix, like Bisquick, about 2 cups (it depends on your pan size, really, but the ratios will be the same no matter what size the pan is) and a cup of sugar, some cinnamon, about a cup to a cup and half of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla. Mix that all together and put it in your buttered pan. A metal or foil pan works better and makes a crispier cobbler. If you want it more cake-like, a glass baking dish will work.
Next, I had a can of apricots halves in syrup, which I cut into quarters and scattered them over the top of the baking mix. Then a can of cherry pie filling, just scattering it around, and then poured the juice from the apricots over the top. Finally, I melted a stick of butter and poured it over everything. You bake it at 350 degrees for about an hour. Keep an eye on it, and once the top gets all browned and bubbly, it’s done. You can really use any kind of canned fruit with this, its awesome with peaches, too. Then I serve it warm with heavy cream poured over it, or with ice cream.
I’m just still not feeling well, and when that happens, I want lots and lots of comfort food. For those of you that read about my being sick, believe it or not, I’m now on my third antibiotic, plus some weird ointment and some other meds. It’s crazy. But I have faith that I’ll feel better some day. Meanwhile, I’ll be in the kitchen eating.

That seems like a lot of work. Can I just have you make some for me too?

It’s not. It takes like 5 minutes to put together. Very easy and very tasty!
