Why You Must Make

  • It’s a delicious, comforting summer dessert.
  • I used some of last year’s frozen peaches from my freezer, which worked well in case you don’t have access to this year’s crop.
  • The combination of berries and peaches is terrific!

Ingredient Notes

  • Kitchen Staples – Cold Water, Brown Sugar, Sugar, Flour
  • Fresh Peaches – Peeled, sliced, and sugared to taste. May use frozen fresh peaches instead and sweeten as needed.
  • Fresh Blueberries – Should be plump, sweet, and unblemished.
  • Fresh Lemon Juice – Don’t use the bottled lemon juice found on grocery store shelves.
  • Baking Powder – Make sure it hasn’t expired. Baking powder does not have the same shelf life as baking soda, so check the expiration date before using. To check if still active, place a spoonful in a cup of very hot water. If it’s active, it will bubble vigorously.
  • Milk – I used 2% milk.
  • Butter – At room temperature for the topping. You’ll also use a tablespoon in the filling.

How to Make

Recipe Tips

  • For the tastiest results, use sweet, flavorful fruit. Sometimes, fresh peaches are mealy and tasteless. It’s better to use canned or frozen and defrosted fruit than bad fresh fruit.
  • PRO-Tip: If your fresh peaches aren’t fragrant, they are either not ripe or lack flavor.
  • If you don’t like blueberries, this cobbler would also be delicious with fresh raspberries.
  • After you add the cornstarch, cook the mixture until it thickens. The juiciness of fruit will vary, so no exact time is listed.
  • PRO-Tip: Make sure your baking powder is active. See the ingredient notes above for how to test it.
  • Make sure you cook the
  • My friend, Karen, who shared this recipe, adds ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg to the sugar topping. Feel free to do the same.
  • I loved the sweet crunch from the sprinkle of sugar over the cobbler before baking. You can even use coarse sugar for extra sparkle.
  • Serve this cobbler shortly after you pull it out of the oven while it’s still warm. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cobbler?

A cobbler is a “Baked, Deep-Dish fruit dessert topped with a thick biscuit crust sprinkled with sugar,” according to the Food Lover’s Companion.

Why is it Called a Cobbler?

Often the topping is made of individual biscuits or a spooned-on topping that looks “cobbled” together.

How Do You Remove Peach Skin?

First, make a shallow X on the end of the peach that’s opposite the stem. Drop a few peaches at a time into a large pot of simmering water. Leave them for 30-60 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon into a bowl of ice water. Once they are cool enough to handle, the peels can be easily removed.
