Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 45 ripe but firm fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (to thicken fruit filling)

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/3 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for vegan option)

Additional(Optional)

  • Chopped pecans or almonds for topping
  • Ginger or cloves to spice mix for more warmth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: Wash, peel, and slice the peaches. In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches with blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and flour. Gently toss to coat the fruit evenly, helping the filling thicken and become bursting with flavor.
  2. Make the Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg if using. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk to form a slightly thick batter ready to spoon over the fruit filling.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the fruit filling into a greased baking dish. Dollop the batter evenly over the fruit, allowing some of the fruit to peek through. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly so the juices thicken. This resting time enhances the flavors before serving warm, ideally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and to avoid mushiness.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined to keep the topping light and tender.
  • Adding lemon juice prevents peaches from browning and brightens the flavor.
  • Adjust sugar based on the natural sweetness of your fruit.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream for extra indulgence.
