  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Fruit Filling

  • 6 fresh peaches (peeled or unpeeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (chilled and cut into small pieces)
  • ¼ cup boiling water

Sprinkle Topping

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Make the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, blueberries, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently toss to evenly coat all the fruit, ensuring the cornstarch blends well to thicken the filling during baking.
  3. Add to Baking Dish: Transfer the fruit mixture into a 2-quart baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake it for 10 minutes to start softening and releasing the juices of the fruit.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a box grater, grate the cold unsalted butter directly into the dry ingredients. Then, with your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the boiling water just until the dough comes together.
  5. Top the Fruit: Remove the baking dish from the oven and evenly drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the warm fruit filling, covering as much surface as possible.
  6. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix white sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cobbler topping to add a sweet, spiced crust.
  7. Bake Again: Return the dish to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • You can leave the peach skins on for extra texture and nutrients or peel them if you prefer a smoother filling.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before mixing to avoid excess liquid in the filling.
  • Ensure the butter is chilled before grating for a better topping texture.
  • Serving the cobbler warm enhances the flavors and makes the topping perfectly soft yet crisp.
  • This cobbler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
