🥘Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling

2 cups fresh blackberries
2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Topping

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

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
3Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated and the mixture looks glossy.
4Pour the fruit mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
5Set aside while you prepare the topping.
6In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
8Add the buttermilk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
9Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
10Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the fruit filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
11Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
12Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
13The topping should feel firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the dough comes out clean.
14Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.
15Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Blackberry Peach Cobbler

1. What type of berries should I use in this recipe?

You can use either fresh or frozen blackberries in this recipe – just be sure to thaw them first if using frozen. If you can’t find fresh blackberries, you can also substitute in other types of berries like blueberries or raspberries. However, keep in mind that these will change the flavor profile of the cobbler slightly.

2. Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

While you can use canned peaches as a substitute, I highly recommend using fresh peaches for the best flavor and texture. Fresh peaches will give your cobbler a lovely sweetness and tenderness that canned peaches just can’t replicate.

3. How do I prevent my biscuit crust from becoming too brown?

To prevent your biscuit crust from becoming too brown, simply cover the top of your cobbler with foil during baking – this will help keep it from getting too dark.

4. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time – simply assemble the cobbler without baking it, then refrigerate or freeze until ready to serve. When you’re ready to serve, simply bake as directed.

5. Can I use other types of sugar instead of granulated sugar?

While granulated sugar is traditional in this recipe, you can experiment with other types of sugar like brown sugar or honey for a different flavor profile.
