Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

3 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.

Pour the melted butter into a baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until a smooth batter forms.

Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Spoon the fruit mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, frozen fruit works well. There is no need to thaw, but you may need to add a little extra baking time.

Do I need to peel the peaches?

Peeling is optional. The skins soften during baking, but you can remove them for a smoother texture.

Why shouldn’t I stir the layers?

Not stirring helps create the classic cobbler texture, with the batter rising around the fruit.

Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake it ahead and reheat before serving.

What can I serve with this cobbler?

It pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

How do I know when it’s done?

The top should be golden brown, and the fruit filling should be bubbling.

Can I make it less sweet?

Yes, reduce the sugar slightly depending on the sweetness of your fruit.

Can I use whole wheat flour?

Yes, but it may result in a denser topping. Using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour works well.

What size baking dish should I use?

An 8×8-inch or similar-sized baking dish works well for this recipe.

Can I add spices?

Yes, cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a hint of ginger can enhance the flavor.
