- Lemon Juice – Accents the slight acidity of the fruit while balancing the sweetness.

- Maille Honey Dijon Mustard – Used in both the peach and blueberry filling and also the cornmeal topping. This French mustard is made from cut not ground grains which gives it a distinct flavor and texture.
- Flour – Regula all purpose flour works just fine for making the cobbler topping.
- Cornmeal – Pick a medium grain cornmeal for the best texture. This not only texture but also the natural sweetness of corn that pairs well with the peaches and blueberries.
- Baking Powder
- Butter – Gives the cornmeal topping a little richness while also adding moisture.
- Buttermilk – You can also use milk or heavy cream to create the cornmeal topping. The buttermilk will give tang that accents the mustard while the heavy cream will add richness. The milk is more of a neutral flavor. Use what you like and what you have on hand.

Storage
Honey Dijon Peach and Blueberry Cobbler is a great make ahead dessert. You can even assemble it earlier in the day and then keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to bake it. If you go with that option make sure that it remains tightly covered with plastic wrap or foil.
Once your cobbler has baked allow the leftovers to cool completely. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and keep it refrigerated. When ready to eat it you can let it sit out and come to room temperature. You can also rewarm it in the oven on a low setting.
Top Tip for Honey Dijon Peach and Blueberry Cobbler
Cold butter is your best friend when it comes to making your cobbler topping. This is what gives it its incredible texture. You can slice your butter into cubes and place it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before making the batter. This will fully chill it while not completely freezing it and the smaller cubes will break in easily into the dry ingredients.
