🥘Ingredients

For the Fruit Filling

6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 6 large peaches)
2 cups fresh blackberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt

For the Biscuit Topping

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blackberries, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated, then let the mixture sit for 10 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 the dish aside while you prepare the biscuit topping.
6In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter bits remaining.
8Pour the buttermilk and vanilla extract into the flour mixture.
9Stir with a rubber spatula just until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
10The dough will be slightly sticky.
11Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the fruit mixture, spreading them slightly to cover most of the surface.
12The topping will expand as it bakes, so leaving small gaps is fine.
13If desired, sprinkle the coarse sugar over the dough for a crunchy finish.
14Place the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
15The cobbler is done when the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the dough comes out clean.
16Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving.
17This allows the filling to set slightly.
18Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

📝Notes

Tips: If fresh peaches are not in season, you can use frozen sliced peaches, thawed and drained. For a gluten-free version, substitute a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. The cobbler is best enjoyed the day it is made, but leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
