Fruit Filling
- 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (or plant-based butter for vegan)
- 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk)
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches. In a large bowl, toss the peaches with blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, a pinch of cinnamon, and flour. The sugar helps draw out the juices, while the flour thickens the filling as it bakes.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk to form a soft batter.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Butter a baking dish and pour in the fruit filling evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of the batter on top, leaving gaps to allow steam to escape and juices to bubble through.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly and fragrant.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10 to 15 minutes so the filling sets for easier serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches and blackberries for the best natural flavor and juiciness.
- Mix the cobbler batter just until combined to keep the topping tender and flaky.
- Chill the butter before cutting it into the dry ingredients to create a flakier crust.
- Monitor baking time closely near the end to prevent burning while ensuring the fruit cooks through.
- Allow the cobbler to rest before serving so the filling thickens and flavors blend beautifully.
