Dumped Strawberry Cobbler

Aaaahhhh.....the end of my strawberries!  I wanted to make a cobbler.....but it didn't come out the way I wanted.  So then I wanted to make dumplings......but it came out like this which looks more like a cobbler.  So I used (kind of) both names. Anyway, the end of strawberry season is near and so is the end of my strawberry recipe run. Hope you've had as much fun as I have!

DUMPED STRAWBERRY COBBLER

Makes 6 Servings

1 Serving = 3 PointsPlus™

1/3 cup Splenda granulated
2/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 TBSP Splenda granulated
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup light butter
1/2 cup fat-free milk
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled & rinsed
1 TBSP Splenda granulated
Ground cinnamon (to your taste)

Preheat oven to 450º.

In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup Splenda granulated and the water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, 2 TBSP Splenda granulated, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Add milk and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Place the strawberries in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Pour hot sugar mixture over the berries. Immediately drop the dough evenly in 8 – 10 spoonfuls over the strawberries. Sprinkle with 1 TBSP Splenda granulated and cinnamon.

Bake 25 – 30 minutes or until dough is lightly browned.

Serve hot/warm …. with or without fat-free whipped topping.
