Berry Cobbler with Pecan Sandie Streusel
The toasty, nutty streusel topping is a surprising twist on the classic berry cobbler.

Made this with fresh picked blueberries and strawberries, and everyone practically ate their bowls. I added a touch of cinnamon with the nutmeg/flour to the berries. I liked the "sandie" crumble - it does taste just like the cookie and was a nice change from other crumbles. I found the recipe a bit tedious, in that there are several ingredients that are to be divided in different steps of the preparation. I know other recipes do this as well, but I tend to cook at a faster pace and found I needed to read and re-read the steps to ensure I got the divisions correct. For example - the 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla. I would tend to not finish reading that line, and add 1 1/2 tsp when I first saw, "...add vanilla...". So I had to slow down and it took a bit longer to put together. Anyway, not a biggie, but just read carefully.

Gluten free too by using a Bob's Red Mill one-for-one substitute and it turned out awesome. Also substituted three parts blueberries and one part red currants and while a little tart, it was tasty.
