That is the question.
The Crumble...
...and the Cobbler
Whether ’tis nobler to bake the gorgeous local fruit now being sold at Green Aisle into a crumble or into a cobbler is purely a matter of personal taste: are you hankering for a sweet crunchy oatmeal topping or a sweet cornmeal biscuit topping? Whatever your pleasure, both recipes are linked after the jump.
Unlike some chemical-laden commercially grown fruits, our local produce is best eaten right away. And if you find it going a bit soft after a few days at home, baking it into a sweet summer dessert is the perfect use for fruit that’s a little beyond the snacking phase.
The best thing about both of these recipes? They are easily adaptable to any type of fruit you’ve purchased at Green Aisle. Out of our Three Springs Rising Star yellow peaches? Try our house-grown Red Angel plums or Eden Garden Farm apricots instead! Our Green Meadow blackberries can be substituted for our Eden Garden Farm blueberries with the greatest of ease.
Best of all, from the flour to the rolled oats to the cornmeal to the honey to the cinnamon, most of the topping ingredients for both recipes can be found at Green Aisle as well. Talk about your one-stop shopping!
So head down to Green Aisle, stock up on our gorgeous summer fruit and impress your friends with these easy and delicious desserts.
