Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4 cups (600 grams / 21.2 ounces) peaches, sliced
- 1 cup (150 grams / 5.3 ounces) raspberries
Sweeteners and Thickeners:
- ⅓ cup (65 grams / 2.3 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 grams / 4.4 ounces) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50 grams / 1.8 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Cobbler Topping Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (115 grams / 4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters / 2 fluid ounces) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 375F (190C) and lightly greasing an 8-inch baking dish to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
- Create a vibrant fruit mixture by combining ripe peaches and fresh raspberries with sugar, cornstarch, a hint of cinnamon, a splash of lemon juice, and vanilla extract, gently mixing to coat the fruits evenly.
- Transfer the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to create a uniform layer that will provide a juicy base for the cobbler.
- Craft the cobbler topping by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate mixing bowl.
- Incorporate melted butter, milk, and vanilla into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, slightly lumpy batter forms with a consistent texture.
- Delicately drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit filling, allowing some gaps to remain so the fruit can bubble and peek through during baking.
- Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit edges that indicate perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes, letting the filling settle and the topping crisp slightly.
- Serve warm, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to complement the sweet, tangy fruit filling.
Notes
- Choose ripe, slightly soft peaches for maximum sweetness and intense fruit flavor that enhances the overall cobbler texture.
- Swap raspberries with other berries like blueberries or blackberries for seasonal variations and different taste profiles.
- Reduce sugar content by using fresh, naturally sweet fruits and adding a touch of honey or maple syrup for healthier alternative.
- Ensure even batter distribution by using a small offset spatula to gently spread topping, creating beautiful rustic peaks and golden-brown surfaces.
