Strawberry Apple Hazelnut Cobbler

Strawberry Apple Hazelnut Cobbler 2

This is another variation of my classic apple almond cobbler or peach almond cobbler. The fresh strawberries give out their natural sweet juices while baking with the apples and, combined with the ground hazelnut flour, make this cobbler absolutely sublime! I personally am going to be making this variation for our Thanksgiving feast!
