Peach & Blueberry Cobbler

I’ve been making this recipe for peach and blueberry cobbler for as long as I can remember. My mom and I used to drive to Fredericksburg (a little town in Texas) to get fresh peaches right off the tree. As soon as we got home, my mom would request this cobbler. And I always obliged 🙂

It’s a very simple recipe. There are two main parts: the fruit filling and the cobbler topping. For the fruit filling, you simply mix together sugar, cornstarch (to thicken the juices), water and lemon juice in a small pot on the stove. Once that mixture is thick, you pour it over the fruit and the filling is done.

For the cobbler topping, you mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk and soft butter. Then you “plop” (that’s an official cooking term) the batter on top of the fruit filling, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon and you’re ready to bake. Serve, warm, with vanilla ice cream for the most incredible flavor!

Ingredients

For peach and blueberry filling:

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

For Topping:

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 Tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine white and brown sugars, cornstarch, water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick.
Add peaches and blueberries to 2-quart baking dish. Pour thickened sauce over fruit and toss to coat.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add milk and softened butter; mix until fairly smooth (some lumps of butter are okay). Spoon batter over the fruit.
Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 375 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Gluten-Free Option: For a gluten-free cobbler, substitute your favorite gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour, cup for cup.
