Ingredients
Biscuit topper:2/3 cup whole wheat flour 1/3 cup whey protein powder2 Tbsp brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup Butter1 egg 1/4 cup milk Prepare this while the apples are cooking. First get out a medium sized bowl. Combine the flour, protein powder sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl. Add the butter,applesauce, egg and milk. Mix very well, forming a soft dough, or thick batter. Set aside.Apples:6 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples 1/4 cup brown sugar2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon ginger or cinnamon 1 1/4 cups tap water 1/2 cup raisins 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 Tbsp Butter
Get out a large saucepan. In it combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and ginger or cinnamon. Gradually add the tap water, stirring to dissolve the cornstarch. Add the raisins. Cook and stir until the mixture is boiling. Add the apples, lemon juice and butter. Continue cooking until the apples are very hot and begin to soften some. Don't over cook though, or the apples will turn to mushy applesauce. A full five minutes of cooking the apples should be enough.
While everything is cooking, you can prepare the biscuit topper recipe above. Turn the apple mixture into a well oiled 2 quart casserole dish, or an 8" square pan. Drop the prepared biscuit dough onto the very hot apple mixture by large spoonfuls. The apple mixture has to be very hot so that the biscuit dough will start cooking right away. If the apple mixture is cold, it will make the cobbler dough pasty. Bake the cobbler at 425° for about 25 minutes. The biscuit topper will be golden brown and the apple filling will be bubbling. If you want to be fancy you can sprinkle a spoonful of sugar over top of the cobbler dough right before putting it into the oven. It makes the dish sort of pretty when it comes out of the oven. Serve it hot with light whipped topping or frozen yogurt. Serves 6.
