Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and comes out golden brown. -
Prepare Fruit Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh peaches with lemon juice. Gently stir the mixture to coat the peaches evenly with the juice. Then, add the blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Stir the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar and cornstarch mixture. This will help thicken the filling while it bakes. -
Transfer to Baking Dish:
Spoon the prepared fruit mixture into an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan. Spread the fruit evenly across the bottom of the pan. Bake the fruit for 15 minutes. During this time, the fruit will begin to soften and release its juices, which will form a delicious syrup. -
Prepare the Biscuit Topping:
While the fruit is baking, make the biscuit topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut the margarine (or butter) into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step will create a flaky texture for the topping. -
Add Wet Ingredients:
Stir in the low-fat milk and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the topping dense. -
Top the Fruit:
Once the fruit has baked for 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit batter over the top of the hot fruit. The batter will spread slightly as it bakes, creating a beautiful, uneven topping. -
Bake the Cobbler:
Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the biscuit layer comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve:
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This will give the juices time to thicken up, making the cobbler easier to scoop. Serve warm, and for an extra treat, consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Serving Suggestions
This Fresh Peach Blueberry Cobbler is a versatile dessert that can be served on its own or with a variety of toppings. For an indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or try a dollop of freshly whipped cream. If you want to add more depth of flavor, consider a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top.
Tips for the Perfect Cobbler
-
Fruit Variety: You can substitute the peaches and blueberries with other fresh fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries. If you’re using frozen fruit, be sure to thaw and drain it first to prevent excess moisture in the cobbler.
-
For a Crispier Topping: If you prefer a crunchier topping, try adding a handful of oats or chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) to the biscuit batter.
-
Make Ahead: You can prepare the fruit filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. Just assemble and bake when you’re ready for dessert!
-
Storage: Leftover cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven before serving.
