3 cups peeled, cored or pit removed, and sliced apples or peaches (fresh, frozen or canned)

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

2 tablespoons butter, softened or butter flavored cooking oil spray
1 1/2 cups stevia sugar substitute or agave syrup
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

?

Biscuit topping:
2 cups Bob?s Red Mill Buttermilk Biscuit Mix

1/4 cup stevia, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup water

1 large egg

1 ? ?teaspoons cinnamon

Grease the bottom and sides of a slow cooker with a removable pot insert with the butter or cooking oil spray. Add in the fruit, stevia, flour, lemon juice and vanilla. Stir to combine.

Biscuit Topping: Using a large bowl, mix together the baking mix, stevia and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a fork or the tips of your fingers until crumbly.? Mix together the water and the egg.? Add the egg mixture to the baking mix and stir with a fork to make a slightly sticky dough. With floured hands, gather the dough into a ball. On?a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough about 6 to 8 times until smooth. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle large enough to cover the berries in the slow cooker. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and arrange the wedges over the fruit.? Sprinkle the wedges with the remaiing stevia and the cinnamon.

Place the top on the slow cooker and cook on high until the biscuit topping is no longer doughy underneath, about 3 hours. Remove the pot insert and let the cobbler cool, uncovered for about an hour before serving.? Serve with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
