My OperaApple Cherry Cobbler

Hello, all!
This will be a quick post, early in the morning, just so this blog doesn't seem to be abandoned... Sorry for that!
Last tuesday (Yup, I should have posted this before...) I called my gf home, to have dinner, and had some apple left overs from the Apple Creme I posted bofore. So, I decided to make something with it. Actually, this is a very easy recipe, as well as very quick to be made. And you can use many other fruits you want, as the filling for this cobbler.
I am not very much a connoisseur of this subject, but the general differences between a cobbler, a pie and a cruble are related to the pastry used... The pie, as most of you should know, uses, at least, one layer of pastry underneath the filling. Besides that, most of them also have one topping layer of pastry. For the cobbler and the crumble, on the other hand, you you usually have no pastry underneath. The cobler should have some kind of cakey/biscuit topping, and the crumble a more crunchy topping, usually with nuts or some grains. (Please, guys, send me a comment, in case I'm wrong, and I'll ve happy to correct it!)
But well, this is one kind of recipe you can prepare in 15 minutes, and leave it in the oven, while the dinner is going on! Enjoy it!

Apple Cherry Cobbler
Makes 4
4 Apples, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced (I used fuji apples)
50g Cherries au Maraschino, diced
75g crystal sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
75g butter, chilled and diced
1/4 cup boiling water
Sugar, to sprinkle
Pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees celcius.
Put the apples, cherries and crystal sugar in a pot over medium fire. Mix gently and in some 5 minutes, when the apples start to soften, add the cinnamon, give one last turn, to dissolve it, leave for 5 more minutes and you'll be done with it.
In a bowl, put the flour, sugar, brown sugar and baking powder, and then, mix well. Add the butter and use your fingers to incorporate it into the dry ingredients. keep mixing until you have a slightly crumbling mixture. Add the boiling water and, this time with a spoon, finish mixing, and you'll have your topping.
To assemble, in one medium glass pan, put the apple-cherry filling and spoon over it your topping. Sprinkle it with sugar and take it to the oven for nearly 35 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick in the cobbler topping and it leaves out dry.
