This is the most unusual cobbler I have ever made or eaten. It is almost steamed by the time it’s done baking, but it has a crispy, shiny coating on the top. You can use any berries or stone fruits. My absolute favorite combination is strawberry-rhubarb. Another good combo is blueberry- strawberry- raspberry, as shown here.
I have also made it with peaches, plums and even apples. You cannot go wrong. Included in the recipe are gluten free and dairy free directions because I am not going to give up a good thing, just because I cannot eat like I used to.

4. Tips and advices:
- For dairy-free, substitute almond milk and coconut oil for milk and butter.

- For refined sugar free, use coconut sugar in place of white sugar, but note that the biscuits will be tan, as in the photos. With white sugar, they stay white.
