Fruit Filling
- 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk (or almond/oat milk for vegan option)
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. In a large bowl, gently combine the peaches and blackberries. Stir in granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon if using. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to macerate and release juices.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until combined to form a soft batter; avoid overmixing.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Butter a baking dish well. Pour the fruit filling evenly into the dish. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some fruit exposed to bubble through.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 35-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. Watch closely to avoid overbaking.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh fruit for optimal flavor.
- Do not overmix the topping batter to keep it light and flaky.
- Grease the baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your fruit.
- Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh mint garnish.
