directions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- For the fruit: Halve the nectarines along their natural seam, but leave skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss nectarines with blueberries, sugar, and tapioca and put into a buttered 9-inch round gratin or casserole dish. Dot the top of the fruit with the pieces of butter.
- For the cobbler top: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and cream and stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy, loose dough.
- Spoon large spoonfuls of dough on top of the fruit in clumps (it should look like rough, old-fashioned cobblestones, hence the name cobbler). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cobbler on a rack, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm college student majoring in nutrition and dietetics. It sounds really intresting until you realize you have to organic chemistry. I'll be graduating in May 2008 and I am looking into volunteering as a nutrition educator for Americorps and getting my RD. I like to workout, I used to play basketball but lots of injuries have me doing yoga and walking now. My main passion is reading. I love to read, my friends think I'm a geek for it but that's ok!
