Unbaked Fruit Cobbler
I wanted to make a dessert with fruit. I like the idea of cobblers, but I decided I didn't want to bake the fruit. But I wanted a cobbleresque topping. Why not bake some cobbler rounds and then put them on top of the fruit? No reason as far as I can see.
Unbaked Fruit Cobbler
1 large mango
3 large peacharines (or peaches)
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup Bisquick I used the Heart Smart Bisquick
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk I used 1 %
1 /2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Cut up 4 or 5 different fruits. I had just been to the Fresh market and saw some Peacharines..This is a hybrid of peach and nectarine. Why not try something new and untested on company, I always say? Well, not always, but I did this time. And mangoes are always good.
I peeled and diced the fruit. Because it would have to sit for a bit, I sprinkled a Tablespoon of lemon juice on top and mixed it around. This keeps it from turning that yucky brown. Then add 1 1/2 Tablespoon of sugar and let it sit. I had some time before the guests would arrive so I put it in the fridge.
Now to bake the topping. Pre-heat the oven to 425. Grease a cookie sheet, use a Silpat or sheet of parchment paper.
I used the recipe for the shortcake on the box. Mix the Bisquick, sugar and milk. Add in the cinnamon and let it rest for a few minutes. While you have the sugar and cinnamon out put the smaller amounts in a little dish and set aside.
Spoon the dough onto the cookie sheet. This should make 6 or 7 large cobbler tops. You could easily get 8 if needed. Sprinkle the reserved sugar/cinnamon mixture on top just before baking.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.
Place the chilled fruit in a clear bowl or goblet. Place the cap of cobbler on top. Add vanilla ice cream or Cool Whip. Or do like I did and add BOTH. It made for a nice, not too sweet ,refreshing dessert.
My pictures for this post are getting sort of fuzzy. I think my camera is slowly dying. I hope to keep it going until Christmas, when I will beg for a new one. If the horses sell and after the daughter-in -England-wedding, finances may loosen up a bit.

Just made a blueberry-pear cobbler over the weekend which was so easy, and this one looks like another one to try as we really like mangoes too. I posted the recipe I tried on our blog, if you want to check it out.
