2 Components Of A Fruit Cobbler Recipe

Essentially, fruit cobblers are summer treats that are simply combinations of fresh fruit and batter.  The batter is sweet and cakey and envelopes the at-its-peak fruit in a cloak of crusty, soft crumb that’s darn near close to gooey the closer to the center you get. If that sounds good to you, this Old fashioned peach cobbler with fresh blueberries and a bit of lemon zest should be on your to-do list NOW.

The easiest peaches to peel are freestone, the skins practically shrug themselves off the fruit. If you can find freestone peaches, get ’em. Cling peaches will work, but you’ll need to use a vegetable peeler to remove the fuzz and skin and the peach pit may stick a bit.

As it bakes, the peach blueberry filling sinks into the batter and at the same time, the batter rises up to envelop the fruit in a sweet warm hug. That’s the magic of the fruit cobbler recipe — it’s almost an inverse of an upside down cake. Like the fruit is pulling up a blanket of cake to cloak itself. #Doesn’tSuck.

When you pull the peach and blueberry cobbler from the oven, you’ll notice that you can barely even see the fruit. It’s nestled deep its confectionary cocoon, but you only have to scoop it with a serving spoon to uncover the peachy-blueberry bliss hiding beneath. Easy summer desserts like this are perfection on their own, but an icy scoop of vanilla or butter almond would definitely add a lip-smacking contrast of hot and cold.

INGREDIENTS:

FOR PEACH BLUEBERRY FILLING:

  • 5 ripe peaches peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup sugar

FOR BATTER:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk

DIRECTIONS:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Spray a 9″ square baking pan with vegetable spray and set aside.

FOR THE FRUIT FILLING:

  • In a large bowl add the peaches, blueberries, lemon zest and 1/4 cup of sugar. Toss to combine and set aside to macerate.

FOR THE BATTER:

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Add the butter and milk and beat to combine.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • Evenly spoon the fruit (and juices) over the batter. Place the baking dish on a rimmed sheet pan (to catch any leaks) and bake for 28-35 minutes or until golden brown. (Note, center may seem a little underdone, but it should be a bit loose and syrupy when you cut into it.)
  • Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving. Great with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or powdered sugar. I like it plain.
