For the best flavor, I use: - 2 cups fresh, plump blueberries - 2 cups ripe, juicy peaches, peeled and sliced into thin wedges These fruits give the cobbler a sweet and tart taste. Fresh peaches and blueberries add natural sweetness and make your dish shine. You will need a few common items from your kitchen: - 1 cup granulated sugar, divided into two portions - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice - 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder for leavening - ½ teaspoon fine salt - ½ cup whole milk - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warmth These items help create the perfect texture and flavor. The sugar sweetens, while the flour and baking powder create that lovely cobbler base. If you want to mix it up, consider these options: - Use honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar. - Try coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option. These swaps can fit your taste or dietary needs. They still allow you to enjoy a delicious cobbler while keeping it personal. {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by washing 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Then, peel and slice 2 ripe peaches into thin wedges. In a large bowl, mix the blueberries and peaches. Add ½ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a spatula to gently toss the fruit. Be careful not to bruise them. Pour this lovely mixture into your greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it evenly across the dish. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of fine salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Make sure these dry ingredients mix well. Next, add ½ cup of whole milk and ¼ cup of melted butter to the dry mix. Stir gently until it just comes together. The batter should be thick and lumpy. Take a spoon or spatula and drop dollops of batter over the fruit mixture. Leave small gaps for the fruit to bubble through. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes. Look for a golden brown top and bubbly fruit. Once done, take it out and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors mix and makes serving easier. To make a great cobbler, you need ripe fruits. Look for peaches that are bright in color and feel soft. If they are hard, they are not ripe yet. For blueberries, pick berries that are plump and firm. They should have a deep blue color. Avoid any that are mushy or have white spots. Fresh fruits make a big difference in taste. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market. This way, you get the best quality fruits for your cobbler. The texture of your cobbler is key to a yummy dish. When making the batter, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt first. Then, add the milk and melted butter. Stir gently until combined. It’s okay if the batter is lumpy. That means it will bake up nice and fluffy. Drop the batter over the fruit, leaving some space for the fruit to show through. This creates a beautiful top that is crispy and golden. Timing is important for baking your cobbler just right. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start. This helps the cobbler bake evenly. Bake your cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes. You want the top to be golden brown, and the fruit should bubble. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes. If it looks done, take it out and let it cool for 10 minutes. This cooling time helps the flavors mix and makes it easier to serve. Pro Tips Choose Ripe Fruit: Make sure the peaches and blueberries are ripe and juicy for the best flavor in your cobbler. Mix Gently: When combining the fruit with sugar and cornstarch, be gentle to avoid bruising the berries and peaches. Don’t Overmix: When making the batter, mix until just combined to keep the cobbler light and fluffy. Let it Rest: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving; this helps the flavors meld and makes serving easier. {{image_4}} You can make a gluten-free version of this cobbler.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh, plump blueberries
  • 2 cups ripe, juicy peaches, peeled and sliced into thin wedges
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided into two portions
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder for leavening
  • 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
  • 0.5 cup whole milk
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warmth

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy serving.
  • In a large mixing bowl, carefully combine the fresh blueberries and the sliced peaches. Add ½ cup of the granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently toss everything together using a spatula to coat the fruits evenly without bruising them. Pour this luscious fruit mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the remaining ½ cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • Pour in the milk and melted butter to your dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick and somewhat lumpy, which is perfect for a cobbler.
  • Using a spoon or spatula, drop dollops of the batter over the fruit mixture in an even layer, allowing small gaps for the juicy fruit to bubble through as it bakes.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler top is beautifully golden brown and the fruit is delightfully bubbly.
  • Once baked, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes; this will help the flavors meld and make it easier to serve.
