Description
This comforting Peach and Blueberry Cobbler combines the fresh flavours of two favourite summer time fruits. A fruity filling is topped with a sweet buttermilk cobbler topping. Topped with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, it’s the ultimate summer dessert!
Ingredients
Filling:
6 cups peaches
1 cup blueberries
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tbsp. lemon juice
Cobbler topping:
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup, plus 2 tbsp butter, cold and cut into cubes
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp. turbinado sugar (to sprinkle on topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Grease 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Peel peaches and slice. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, blueberries, lemon juice and sugar mixture from Step 4. Stir gently to combine.
- Transfer peach and blueberry mixture to greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- FOR COBBLER TOPPING: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Using pastry blender, or with clean hands, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In small bowl, combine buttermilk and vanilla.
- Add to flour mixture all at once. Stir just until combined.
- Drop by heaping spoonfuls on top of peaches. Don’t worry about covering the entire area, the topping will spread out as it bakes. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this step.
- Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake in 375°F oven for 40 minutes until golden brown. Filling will be bubbling at the edges when the cobbler is ready.
- Let cool 25 to 30 minutes. The fruity sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Buttermilk substitute – For 1 cup of buttermilk, put 1 tbsp. lemon juice or white vinegar into a measuring cup. Add enough liquid to fill to the 1 cup measuring line. Stir Let stand for 5 minutes, then proceed with recipe.
- Turbinado sugar may be substituted with any type of coarse sugar.
