PEACH AND APRICOT COBBLER WITH A HONEYCOMB CRUST
It's funny how some of the greatest dishes came about. The Cobbler pie started life in the British American colonies when the Blighty settlers couldn't get the ingredients to get their suet pudding fix. They started stewing up fruits covered in biscuits and TADA this beaut was born. If you ask me I'd take this over a suet any day.
This is a ridiculously easy dish to put together and perfect for barbecue. The fruity sugary combination is the perfect end to a plate full of grilled meats and is vegan friendly. And as usual, we've added a show stopper. The addition of some crumbled honeycomb added right at the end is surely to wow your guests and asking you for the recipe. Make sure you send them on over to the Shack.

Melt the coconut oil (or butter) and mix in a bowl with the flour, sugar, vanilla, baking powder and salt until it forms a nice biscuit dough.

Whack it in the oven for 25 minutes watching to make sure it is getting a lovely golden colour. Add the crumbled honeycomb and bake for a further 5 minutes - careful, this stuff burns fast.
