Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 4-5 cups Fresh peaches (or canned), sliced Substitute with pears or apples if necessary
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar Adjust according to sweetness preference
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Optional but recommended
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour You can use whole wheat for a healthier alternative
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder Ensures a rise in the filling
- 1/2 cup Butter, melted Use vegan butter to make it dairy-free
- 1 cup Milk Almond or coconut milk works too
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar For added depth of flavor
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract For aroma and flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the fruit: If using fresh peaches, slice them thinly, removing pits. If using canned, drain and pat dry.
- Mix the filling: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- Make the batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, milk, melted butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract for warmth if desired.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter evenly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Notes
For a gourmet twist, add a sprinkle of nutmeg or a splash of bourbon to the peach filling. The cobbler can also be made with frozen peaches if fresh ones are not available.
