Ingredients

Filling

  • 5 cups Frozen mixed berries

  • 2 cups Frozen wild blueberries

  • 1 cup Chopped California walnuts

  • 1/2 cup Sugar

  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp Orange juice

  • 1/4 tsp Ground cardamom

  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon

  • 1 tsp Orange zest

  • 1 pinch Salt (1/8 tsp)

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 cup (3.5 oz) California walnuts

  • 1 cup Whole wheat flour

  • 1/4 cup Sugar

  • 2 tsp Baking powder

  • 1/4 cup Cold, unsalted butter, cubed

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp Ground cardamom

  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt

  • 3-4 tbsp Ice water

  • 1 tbsp Sugar to sprinkle on top

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. To prepare the filling, in a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for filling and stir together so that fruit is evenly coated with sugar, cornstarch, spices, and zest.

  3. Transfer to a 9×13 oven-proof baking dish and set aside.

  4. To prepare the biscuit dough, add walnuts to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to grind into a flour. Add flour, sugar, and baking powder and pulse for a few seconds to mix.

  5. Add cold butter, along with vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Turn on food processor to mix, gradually adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture comes together into a dough.

  6. Transfer dough to a clean surface and form into a log about 2″ in diameter. Slice into rounds about 1/2″ thick and place on top of filling mixture in a single layer.

  7. Sprinkle entire cobbler with remaining tablespoon of sugar.

  8. Bake for about 50 minutes or until biscuits start to brown.

  9. Serve while slightly warm!
