Cheshire cheese may seem like a strange addition to this dessert but the slight saltiness of the cheese cuts through the sweetness of the apples perfectly. Serve with crème fraîche.
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
-
Place the apples in a pan with the sugar, butter and cinnamon and cook gently until just tender and caramelised. Spoon the apples into a pie dish. Discard the cinnamon stick.
-
For the topping, blend the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
-
Add the soured cream and pulse until the mixture comes together as a thick dough.
-
Place spoonfuls of the cobbler dough on top of the apples, then sprinkle over the crumbled cheese.
-
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown.
