Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 5 cups fresh sliced peaches (about 2 pounds or 56 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 Topping

  • 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

Finishing

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Spray a 2-quart baking dish or a 9×13 baking pan lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Peaches: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sliced peaches and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir gently and cook until the mixture starts gently boiling, about 5 minutes.
  3. Thicken Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly drizzle this mixture into the cooking peaches while stirring continuously. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens.
  4. Add Flavorings and Blueberries: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the butter melts. Gently fold in the blueberries carefully, ensuring they remain whole. Pour the fruit filling into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Prepare Cobbler Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir just until combined; avoid over mixing to keep the topping tender.
  6. Assemble Cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the batter unevenly over the fruit filling, covering the surface partially. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar evenly over the batter. Drizzle the hot water all over the sugared batter to create a glossy finish.
  7. Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the topping is lightly golden and the fruit filling is bubbling. Let it cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the warm fruity cobbler.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and sweetness.
  • If fresh blueberries are not available, frozen blueberries can be used but do not thaw them to prevent excess liquid.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender, biscuit-like topping.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free butter.
  • The cobbler can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
