Two summers ago, I really got to know the food in Walla Walla. I tried several great restaurants and made weekly trips to the farmers’ market with my then-housemate, and the two of us shared a Made in Walla Walla Box from the local Daily Market Coop. We received milk, bread, eggs, salad and new produce every week, and we had the chance to try out several tasty new recipes. This collection of springtime dishes was inspired by some of my favorites.
Apple-Blueberry Cobbler (makes about six servings) A cobbler is a great dessert because you can make it with almost any type of fruit. Getting the MWWB meant being able to try out a new dessert fruit combination every week. Filling Ingredients: 2 braeburn apples 1 cup blueberries a squeeze of lemon juice 1/2 tsp flour 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup sugar Topping Ingredients: 1 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 Tbsp baking powder 1 Tbsp sugar 1/2 cup milk 3 Tbsp butter or margarine Instructions: 1. Peel and chop apples. Add fruit to a quart-sized baking pan. 2. Add lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar and flour to pan. Mix with fruit. 3. In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients into a dough. (It should look like biscuit dough.) 4. Form dough into biscuits using hands, then drop onto fruit filling in pan. 5. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Enjoy!
