  • Place the fruit into a large ceramic dish, and sprinkle over the sugar and cinnamon.
    30 g light muscovado sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Make the cobbler topping: first place the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl.
    200 g self-raising flour, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp baking powder
  • Rub in the butter, then stir in the sugar.
    30 g unsalted butter, 30 g light muscovado sugar
