- 2 cups fresh blackberries - 2 cups peaches, sliced - 1 cup granulated sugar (divided) - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup milk - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional) To create a tasty blackberry peach cobbler, you need fresh fruit and simple pantry items. The star ingredients are blackberries and peaches. I use two cups of each. This mix gives the cobbler sweet and tart notes. You can use fresh peaches for the best taste, but feel free to mix in your favorite fruits. In the pantry, we need sugar to sweeten the fruit. I suggest using one cup, split into two parts. One half goes into the fruit, and the other half mixes with the batter. Lemon juice adds brightness to the fruit. Vanilla enhances the flavor, while cinnamon gives depth. For the batter, you will need flour, milk, baking powder, and salt. These create a light, fluffy base. Melted butter adds richness. If you want a thicker fruit filling, use cornstarch. It helps hold the juices in check. These ingredients come together for a warm, comforting dessert. Enjoy the process as you gather these items. They are simple to find and easy to use. {{ingredient_image_1}} - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) - Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish Start by turning on your oven. Set it to 350°F (175°C). While it heats up, grab your baking dish. Use about one tablespoon of butter to coat the bottom and sides. This will help the cobbler not stick. - Combine blackberries, peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon - Optional: Add cornstarch for thickening Next, wash your blackberries and slice your peaches. Put them in a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of sugar, one tablespoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of vanilla, and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir this mix gently. If you like your filling thick, add one tablespoon of cornstarch. This helps the fruit stay together. Let it sit for a bit to soak up the flavors. - Mix dry and wet ingredients - Pour batter into prepared baking dish In another bowl, mix together one cup of flour, the other 1/2 cup of sugar, one teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients well. Then, pour in one cup of milk and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Mix until just combined. It’s okay if you see some lumps. This keeps the batter fluffy. Pour this batter into your buttered baking dish. Make sure to spread it evenly. Do not stir it with the fruit filling. - Spoon fruit mixture over batter - Bake for 35-45 minutes Now, gently spoon the fruit mixture over the batter. Spread it out nicely, but do not mix it in. This way, the fruit sits on top during baking. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. It’s done when the top is golden brown and the fruit bubbles. Insert a toothpick into the batter; it should come out clean. When it’s ready, let the cobbler cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will help it set before you serve. - Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. - For a fancy touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon around the plate. - Check the cobbler after 35 minutes. It should be golden brown and bubbly. - Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set. - Do not over-mix the batter. This can make the cobbler tough. - Make sure your oven is at 350°F (175°C). Too hot or too cool can ruin the cobbler. Pro Tips Use Fresh Fruit: Always opt for fresh blackberries and peaches for the best flavor and texture. Canned or frozen fruit can alter the consistency of the filling. Let It Cool: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to serve without falling apart. Experiment with Spices: Don't hesitate to add other spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique flavor twist. A pinch can elevate the cobbler to new heights. Make It Ahead: This cobbler can be made a day in advance. Just reheat it in the oven before serving for a warm, delicious dessert. {{image_2}} You can switch up the fruits in your cobbler. Try using different berries like raspberries or blueberries. They add a fun twist and different flavors. You can also use other stone fruits. Cherries or apricots work great, too. Each fruit brings its own taste, so feel free to mix and match! If you want a healthier cobbler, consider using whole wheat flour. It adds more fiber and nutrients. You can also reduce the sugar. Try using natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. These options keep your dessert tasty while being a bit better for you. For those with gluten issues, there are gluten-free options. Use almond flour or a gluten-free blend. These work well to maintain texture. If you need a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk. These swaps make the cobbler fit for many diets and keep it delicious. To keep your blackberry peach cobbler fresh, let it cool first. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it. When it’s time to enjoy leftovers, you can reheat the cobbler in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cobbler in an oven-safe dish. Heat for about 15-20 minutes until warm. This method helps keep the crust crisp. You can also use a microwave. Heat a slice for about 30-45 seconds. However, this may make the crust softer. To freeze your blackberry peach cobbler, let it cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. This will prevent freezer burn. You can freeze it for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Then, reheat it in the oven as mentioned above. Enjoy the taste as if it were fresh! Yes, you can use frozen fruits. Frozen blackberries and peaches work well in this recipe. They save time and are often just as tasty as fresh ones. When using frozen fruit, thaw them first and drain excess liquid. This helps keep the cobbler from becoming too watery. Check the cobbler at 35 minutes. Look for a golden-brown top. The fruit should be bubbling around the edges. Insert a toothpick into the batter; if it comes out clean, it’s ready. If not, bake for a few more minutes. Yes, you can prepare the batter a few hours ahead. Store it in the fridge until you are ready to bake. Just remember to stir it gently before pouring it into the baking dish. This keeps the batter fresh and fluffy. This recipe blends fresh blackberries and peaches with simple ingredients. We covered step-by-step instructions to bake a delicious cobbler.
