Cherry-Apple Cobbler

Make sure the fruit filling is hot when you spoon the biscuit batter over it. That way, the bottom of the "cobbled biscuit" will be thoroughly cooked.

3/4	cup all-purpose flour
1/4	cup whole wheat flour
1/4	cup granulated sugar
1- 1/2	teaspoons baking powder
1	teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
1	teaspoon ground cinnamon
3	tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4	cup cold water
4	teaspoons cornstarch
1	16-ounce package frozen unsweetened pitted tart red cherries
3	cups thinly sliced apples (1 pound)
1/4	cup refrigerated or frozen egg substitute, thawed, or 1 egg
1/3	cup fat-free milk

1. For biscuit topping, in a medium bowl stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, the baking powder, orange peel, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

2. For filling, in a medium saucepan stir together the cold water, cornstarch, the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; add frozen cherries. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in apple slices; heat through. Reduce heat; keep filling hot.

3. In a small bowl stir together egg substitute and milk. Add to biscuit topping mixture, stirring just until moistened. Transfer hot filling to a 2-quart square baking dish. Immediately spoon topping into 9 small mounds on filling. Bake in a 400 degrees F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center of a biscuit comes out clean. Serve warm. Makes 9 (1/2-cup) servings.

From the editors: Because 1 srvg of this recipe has a full srvg of fruit and a sweet biscuit, 1/2 cup keeps carbs around 30 grams (2 carb. choices). Desserts are an indulgence and while we�ve grown accustom to large portions, a small amount should do. If there's room in your meal plan for more carb you could have a larger srvng, but be sure to balance with non-starchy veggies and low-fat protein. Note an un-healthy version of cherry cobbler: (1/2 cup + biscuit) = 386 cal., 10 g fat, 73 g carb
