Luscious Apricot Cobbler

Fruit cobbler is a wonderful old-fashioned dessert that's traditionally topped with a high fat butter (or even lard) based biscuit dough.

Filling:
4 C pitted, peeled fresh apricots
1/3 C - 2/3 C sugar (to taste)
1 T cornstarch
1 T Acacia Tummy Fiber
1 T fresh lemon juice

Biscuits:
2 C sifted unbleached white flour
2 t baking powder
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 T granulated sugar
4 T canola oil
1 C soy or rice milk
1 t apple cider vinegar

Preheat oven to 425F.

For Filling: Chop apricots, then stir all filling ingredients except lemon juice together in a medium saucepan, and bring mixture just to a boil. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Spray an 8" or 9" baking pan or casserole dish with cooking oil spray, and fill pan with fruit mixture.

For Biscuits: In a large bowl, sift then whisk dry ingredients. In a small bowl blend together soy milk and vinegar until mixture thickens slightly, and then blend in oil. With a fork blend wet ingredients into dry until well-mixed. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto the fruit filling in pan (have spoonfuls lightly touch - this will help them rise). Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
