Apricot Cobbler Tacos with a Crispy Crumble Topping

Apricot Cobbler Tacos with a Crispy Crumble Topping

This recipe marries the warmth of a classic apricot cobbler with the fun twist of a taco. Plump, juicy apricots meld with sugar and spices to create a luscious filling, topped with a crispy, buttery oat and pecan crumble, all neatly wrapped in a soft, warm flour tortilla. Each bite takes you on a flavor journey - the sweet tartness of apricots, the crunch of the crumble, the whisper of cinnamon, all perfectly balanced by a scoop of rich, smooth vanilla ice cream. This dish, though a twist on the traditional American cobbler, sparks joy and conversation at any gathering with its innovative presentation. The origins of the cobbler trace back to the early British American colonies, which has evolved over the centuries and continues to be a beloved dessert across America.

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Apricots (2 cups, sliced)
  • Sugar (1 cup)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
  • Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
  • Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
  • Oats (1 cup)
  • Pecans (1/2 cup, chopped)
  • Flour tortillas (8 small)
  • Vanilla ice cream (8 scoops)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Combine the sliced apricots, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir until the apricots are evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the apricot mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, oats, and chopped pecans until the ingredients come together to form a crumbly texture.
  5. Sprinkle this oat-pecan crumble evenly over the apricots in the dish.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crumble is a golden brown and the apricots are bubbling with joy.
  7. While the cobbler bakes, warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, flipping each one after about 30 seconds to heat both sides.
  8. Once the cobbler is out of the oven, let it cool slightly to avoid scalding the tortillas.
  9. Assemble the tacos by spooning a generous helping of the apricot cobbler onto each warmed tortilla, then fold it in half like a traditional taco.
  10. Top each taco with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and serve immediately. Enjoy the burst of flavors!
