Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 4 large peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix gently to ensure the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish to create the base of the cobbler.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish. Sprinkle the coarse sugar on top of the batter for added crunch and sweetness.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, ideally with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Peel peaches for a smoother texture, but leaving skin on is optional if you prefer more rustic texture.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your fruit and personal preference.
- Using cold butter in the topping helps create a flaky biscuit texture.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for an enhanced dessert experience.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
