Delicious Autumnal Plum Cobbler (Low Fat!)

What a great time of year the Autumn is, with all the lovely seasonal fruits in abundance. I couldn't let these delicious plums go to waste and wanted something warming to combat the miserable rainy days that seem never ending, so here is my wonderful plum cobbler and the best bit is that it is low fat! Rolling in at approximately 9g of fat per serving. So enjoy a bit of guilt free comfort food, we all did!

Ingredients:

Filling-

750g plums

90g sugar

1tsp vanilla extract

Topping

125g self-raising flour

60g unsalted, chilled butter, cubed

60g soft brown sugar

60ml milk

1tbsp caster sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 200C.

2. Cut the plums into quarters, remove stones and place in a non-stick pan with the sugar and 2tbsp water. Bring to the boil and stir until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the plums are soft and jammy.
4. Add the vanilla extract and pour into an ovenproof pie dish which will comfortably hold the filling with room on top for the topping.
5. If you have a mixer or food processor add the butter and the flour and mix/blitz until you have a breadcrumb like texture. Add the brown sugar and the milk until a dough is formed. If making by hand, rub the butter and flour to make breadcrumbs with your fingertips, then add the brown sugar and milk. Bring together with a knife to form a dough. Add more milk if needed.
6. Roll the dough ball out to about 1cm thick and cut out circles with a 4cm cutter or there abouts.
7. Overlap the rounds around the top of the pie on top of the filling. Glaze/ brush with a little milk and sprinkle with the caster sugar.
8. Bake for around 30 minutes until the topping is golden and cooked through.

Enjoy with custard, cream or ice-cream or if watching the calories just as it comes!
