Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 5 cups fresh sliced peaches (about 2 pounds or 5–6 fresh peaches)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint fresh blueberries (about 2 cups)
Cobbler Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons salted butter (cold)
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
Topping
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Spray a 2 quart baking dish or a 9×13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook peaches: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sliced peaches and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to boil.
- Thicken filling: In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Drizzle this mixture into the peaches and stir continuously until the filling thickens.
- Add flavorings and blueberries: Stir in the butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. Remove from heat, then gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Pour the fruit filling evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir just until combined—do not overmix to ensure a tender batter.
- Top the fruit: Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the peach and blueberry mixture. Sprinkle the 1/3 cup granulated sugar over the batter, then drizzle the hot water evenly over the sugar to help create a lightly crisp topping.
- Bake the cobbler: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic finish.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the cobbler topping light and tender.
- Using fresh fruit makes this dessert vibrant and flavorful, but frozen peaches and blueberries can be substituted if needed.
- For a dairy-free version, replace butter with vegan butter and use plant-based milk.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
