Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 4 to 5 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking mix for gluten-free option)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (or coconut oil for vegan)
- 1/3 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan option)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: Peel and slice the peaches into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, gently toss the peaches with blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to release natural juices and blend flavors.
- Make the Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk gently to form a soft batter that will bake into a tender, golden crust.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the fruit filling evenly into a greased baking dish, spreading it so the juices distribute. Spoon the batter over the top in dollops, leaving gaps to allow steam to escape and fruit juices to bubble through.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is thick and bubbling. Allow it to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors settle.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid a mushy filling.
- Keep butter cold for a flaky crust.
- Mix batter just until combined to maintain a light crust.
- Taste the fruit mixture before baking to adjust sweetness as needed.
- Let the cobbler rest for at least 15 minutes before serving for thickened juices and enhanced flavor.
