Low Fat Cobbler In Paradise

Experiment with different types of dried fruit for this cobbler; a serving of this can perk up breakfast or snack-time.

2 1/2 cups "exotic" dried fruit (nectarines, papaya, berries, etc.)
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 cup peeled, cored, and grated fresh apples
1 small lemon, sliced thin
Water (to cover fruit for soaking)
1 cup diced, drained, canned pineapple
3/4 cup skim milk
3 3/4 cups unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 small bananas, peeled and sliced (use pineapple juice to prevent browning).

Soak dried fruit in water for at least one hour. Drain and save liquid. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 9" x 13" pan. Combine fruit, carrots, apples, and lemon in a large saucepan with 3/4 cup of saved liquid and simmer for one hour (until fruit is soft); add more saved liquid, if necessary. Cool to room temperature and spread in greased pan.

To make biscuit dough, squeeze pineapple until as dry as possible. Discard juice. Mix pineapple and milk together in a large bowl. Add flour and baking powder and mix well.

To assemble cobbler, arrange banana slices on top of fruit and then dot fruit and bananas with biscuit dough (drop dough in tablespoon amounts) until covered. Bake for 25 minutes or until biscuit topping is browned. Serve with banana, apple or carrot chips. Tastes great served warm or cold.

Makes 8 servings.
