Gather these ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this delightful dessert:
- 4 cups sliced peaches: Fresh peaches are a dream in this recipe, but if they’re out of season, frozen peaches work just fine. Just remember to thaw and drain any excess moisture to keep your cobbler from getting too soggy.
- 1 cup raspberries: These little gems add a lovely pop of color and zing. Feel free to experiment—blackberries or blueberries also play beautifully with the peaches.
- 1 cup sugar: The sweet hero of this dish. You can adjust the amount based on how sweet your fruit is; just keep an eye on it!
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: This is essential for that depth of flavor. You could even use almond extract if you’re feeling adventurous with those nutty tones.
- 1 cup flour: Plain all-purpose flour does the job here. If you’re going gluten-free, a 1:1 blend will work nicely too.
- 1 cup milk: Whole milk makes this batter rich and smooth, but any milk will do; just try to avoid non-dairy varieties, as they might throw off the texture.
- 1/2 cup butter, melted: Butter is where the magic happens! A rich flavor that brings everything together. If you’re looking for a lighter option, you could use coconut oil.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder: This helps to provide the lift and fluffiness. Make sure it’s fresh for the best results!
- 1/2 teaspoon salt: Just a pinch to balance the sweetness. Trust me; it makes a difference!
The cooking process explained
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, raspberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract. Gently fold the berries in to avoid squashing them. You want to keep their shape but combine the flavors beautifully.
- Pour this luscious fruit mixture into a greased baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt until it’s nicely blended.
- Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Too much mixing could mean a tough cobbler—nobody wants that!
- Carefully pour the batter over the fruit, making sure it covers as much as possible. Don’t worry about perfection; it’ll spread out as it bakes.
- Pop that beauty into the oven for about 40-45 minutes. You’re looking for a golden-brown top—like a warm hug of comfort—and bubbly filling underneath.
- Once done, let it cool slightly before serving. I know, it’s hard to wait, but trust me!
Best way to enjoy it
This cobbler is fantastic all on its own, but serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream elevates it to heavenly status. The cool creaminess of the ice cream contrasts perfectly with the warm, gooey cobbler. Or, if you’re feeling a bit fancy, drizzle some caramel or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra treat.
Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with leftovers (though I highly doubt it), let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or pop it back in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through. The oven will help keep that delightful crust crispy!
Pro chef tips
Here are a few of my trusted secrets for nailing this recipe:
- Use ripe, but not overripe, peaches for the best flavor and texture. They should have a slight give when you press gently.
- If you’re feeling bold, toss in a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon with the fruit for an extra layer of warmth.
- For a fun twist, consider adding a handful of oats to the batter for a little chewiness. It also gives the cobbler a rustic charm!
Different ways to try
Feeling adventurous? Experiment with other fruits! Try swapping the peaches for plums or even apples! You could also add a dollop of jam or a sprinkle of nuts on top of the batter for a creative crust.
