The Best peach and berry cobbler recipe

Peach and berry cobbler is a classic dessert that never fails to impress my family. It’s a staple in our household, especially during the summer months when peaches are in season.

I love how the sweetness of the peaches pairs perfectly with the tartness of the berries. The combination is simply divine and always leaves everyone wanting more.

My kids can’t get enough of it, and it’s one of the few desserts they actually ask for by name. I think what I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make – just throw all the ingredients together and bake until golden brown.

It’s a perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering or just a random Tuesday night. And let’s not forget about the health benefits – with fresh fruit and minimal added sugar, you can feel good about serving this to your loved ones.

As an added bonus, the cobbler topping is made from scratch using only butter and flour, making it a great option for those looking for a gluten-free dessert option. My family loves it so much that we often have leftovers for days – and let me tell you, it still tastes just as good reheated in the microwave as it does straight out of the oven.

This peach and berry cobbler recipe has been passed down through generations in my family, and I’m so glad I can share it with you today.

🥘Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling

4 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
3Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated, then let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the juices to release.
4Pour the fruit mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
5Set aside while you prepare the topping.
6In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized butter pieces.
8Pour the milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the flour mixture.
9Stir with a fork just until a soft dough forms; do not overmix.
10The dough will be slightly sticky.
11Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the fruit filling, covering most of the surface.
12There will be gaps where the fruit peeks through.
13Bake the cobbler for 30 to 35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly around the edges.
14A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean.
15Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

📝Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend. If using frozen fruit, do not thaw it first; add it directly to the dish and increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
