This is a version of the Nora Cooks recipe for Easy Vegan Peach Cobbler adapted for hotel pans. The original can be found at https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-peach-cobbler/

Oven preheat 350 degrees F

Ingredients

Apples:

• 6 cups peeled sliced apples
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 2+ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch salt

Batter:

• 1 cup melted shortening (or vegan butter)
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tsp kosher vanilla extract
• 2 Tbsp plant milk (or water)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2+ tsp cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp salt

Instructions

Batter and fruit can be prepped simultaneously, but if they aren't, do the fruit first.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a hotel pan.
2. Prep fruit: Slice or dice as desired, dump into hotel pan. Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt; sprinkle over fruit and mix with a big spoon. Spread fruit evenly across pan and set aside.
3. Batter: Melt shortening in microwave. In large bowl, mix shortening, sugar, vanilla (if using), plant milk (or water), and salt. Now add the flour and baking powder, mix just until combined, consistency will resemble cookie dough.
4. With a spoon or clean hands, distribute batter over the fruit. No need to be perfect, fruit can show through, just avoid huge mountains of batter.
5. Bake 30-40 minutes, until the crust is slightly golden and the fruit is bubbly and soft. Serve!
