- 4 ripe peaches, sliced - 2 cups fresh blackberries - 1 cup granulated sugar (divided) - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - ½ cup milk - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening) For this Blackberry Peach Cobbler, I love using ripe peaches and fresh blackberries. They bring so much flavor and sweetness. The sugar helps to balance the tartness of the berries. I divide the sugar into two parts: one for the fruit and the other for the batter. This method ensures every bite is sweet and delicious. The vanilla extract adds warmth, while the lemon juice brightens the flavors. Sifting the flour, baking powder, and salt together gives the batter a nice texture. I always use unsalted butter for better control over the salt level. The milk makes the batter moist, and I add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for that cozy, spiced flavor. If you want a thicker filling, add cornstarch. It's optional but helps bind the fruit juices. This simple list of ingredients turns into a warm, comforting dessert that is perfect for sharing. Start by slicing the ripe peaches. Add them to a large bowl with blackberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss them gently. This helps coat the fruit evenly. Let the fruit sit for a bit. This step allows the juices to flow out. You want the fruit to get nice and juicy. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and the rest of the sugar. This helps mix the dry ingredients well. Next, add the milk and melted butter. Stir until just mixed. It's fine if there are a few lumps. Do not overmix; this keeps the batter light and fluffy. Preheat your Dutch oven by placing it over medium heat. If you use an oven, set it to 350°F (175°C). Once hot, add the fruit mixture to the bottom. Spread it out evenly. If you want a thicker filling, sprinkle cornstarch over the fruit and mix gently. Now, pour the batter over the fruit. Start from the center and move outward. This way, the batter spreads evenly while cooking. For extra flavor, sprinkle ground cinnamon on top. If you cook on the stovetop, cover the pot and let it cook for 30-40 minutes. Check it now and then. If you bake in the oven, cover the pot and bake for 35-40 minutes. Look for a golden brown top. A toothpick should come out clean when done. To make a great cobbler, avoid overmixing the batter. Mix just until the dry and wet ingredients blend. A few lumps are fine. This keeps the batter light. Next, check for doneness. Look for a golden-brown top. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your cobbler is ready. If not, give it a few more minutes. You can boost flavor by adding spices. Try nutmeg or ginger for a twist. Almond or coconut extract can also add depth to your cobbler. Another great idea is a crumb topping. Mix flour, sugar, and butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this on top before cooking. It adds a delicious crunch to your cobbler. {{image_2}} You can switch up the fruit in this cobbler. Apples and pears work great. They add a nice crunch. You can also use berries like raspberries or strawberries. Each fruit brings its own flavor. So, feel free to mix and match. Just keep the same ratios for best results. If you need a gluten-free version, use almond flour or coconut flour. These flours add a different taste but work well. Adjust the liquid a bit since almond flour absorbs more. You may need to add an extra splash of milk. This way, your batter stays moist and tasty. To make this cobbler vegan, swap out the butter and milk. Use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of regular butter. For milk, almond or oat milk works great. These swaps keep your cobbler creamy and rich. You won’t miss the dairy at all! After you enjoy your cobbler, let it cool down to room temperature. This helps keep its taste and texture. Once cooled, place it in a clean, airtight container. You can also use plastic wrap to cover it tightly. Store the cobbler in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, freeze it. Wrap individual servings in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. This way, you can enjoy it later. When it's time to enjoy your cobbler again, you can reheat it to bring back its warmth. For the best texture, use an oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cobbler in an oven-safe dish. Cover it with foil to keep it from drying out. Heat it for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check to see if it is warm all the way through. If you prefer, you can also use a microwave. Heat in short bursts, about 20 to 30 seconds each. This method is quick but may make the cobbler a bit softer. Yes, you can use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit can save time and reduce waste. However, it may release more water than fresh fruit. This extra liquid can make the filling runny. You might need to add more cornstarch for thickness. Fresh fruit offers better texture and flavor. If you use frozen fruit, let it thaw first. Drain any excess juice before mixing. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. You can also look for bubbling around the edges. If the batter is firm and set, it's ready. For stovetop cooking, check at 30 minutes. In the oven, it may take about 35 to 40 minutes. Blackberry peach cobbler pairs well with vanilla ice cream. A dollop of whipped cream also adds a nice touch. You can serve it warm or cold. For a fun twist, try drizzling caramel sauce on top. Fresh mint leaves can add a pop of color and flavor.

Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, sliced

2 cups fresh blackberries

1 cup granulated sugar (divided)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup milk

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blackberries, ½ cup of sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside to allow the juices to release.

    Make the Batter: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining ½ cup of sugar. Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

      Preheat the Dutch Oven: Prepare your Dutch oven by placing it over medium heat on your stovetop or a campfire. If using an oven, preheat it to 350°F (175°C).

        Add the Fruit: Carefully transfer the peach and blackberry mixture to the bottom of the hot Dutch oven, spreading it evenly. If you prefer a thicker filling, sprinkle the cornstarch over the fruit and stir gently to combine.

          Pour the Batter: Spoon the batter evenly over the fruit, starting from the center and working outward. This method helps the batter spread evenly as it cooks.

            Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top of the batter for extra flavor.

              Cook the Cobbler: For stovetop cooking, cover the Dutch oven with a lid and allow it to cook for about 30-40 minutes, checking occasionally. For oven baking, place the Dutch oven (with the lid on) in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
