Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Butter a 2-quart gratin or baking dish, ensuring all sides are well-coated. Set the dish aside for later use.
-
Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, toss the peaches with the honey (or brown sugar), fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps coat the peaches and create a flavorful base.
-
Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, sift together the cornmeal, unbleached white flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. If you have a food processor, transfer these dry ingredients to its bowl. Pulse a few times to combine everything.
-
Incorporate Butter: Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add them to the dry ingredients. If using a food processor, pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If not, you can use a fork to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until a coarse, mealy texture is achieved.
-
Add Yogurt and Honey: Pour in the plain nonfat yogurt and additional honey. If using a food processor, pulse until the mixture forms a cohesive dough. If mixing by hand, stir until the ingredients are well combined and a sticky dough forms.
-
Combine Peaches and Raspberries: Gently fold the raspberries into the peach mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Transfer this fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, scraping out all the delicious juices.
-
Add Topping: Spoon heaped tablespoons of the prepared topping mixture over the fruit. The goal is to cover the fruit, leaving some small spaces for the topping to crisp up beautifully.
-
Spread Topping: Using lightly moistened fingertips, gently spread the topping to cover any large spots where the fruit isn’t fully covered. This helps create a uniform and delightful cobbler crust.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the top is golden brown and crispy.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the peach cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together.
-
Serve Warm: Serve this delightful peach cobbler warm, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream, a spoonful of yogurt, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm, juicy fruit and cool, creamy toppings is simply divine.
-
Advance Preparation: If you’d like to prepare this dessert ahead of time, it can be made a few hours in advance. Simply store it at room temperature and reheat in a low oven for 15 to 20 minutes before serving to restore its warm, gooey goodness.
Tips for Success
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor. If they’re not quite ripe, you can place them in a paper bag at room temperature for a day or two to ripen.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the cobbler by varying the amount of honey or sugar used in the recipe.
- For a boozy twist, you can add a splash of peach brandy to the peach mixture before baking. It adds a lovely depth of flavor.
- This cobbler is at its best when served warm, so don’t hesitate to pop it back into the oven for a few minutes before serving if it has cooled down too much.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before enjoying again.
