Ingredients Needed To Make Peach Cobbler

  • 2 peaches, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • ¾ cup sugar, plus 4 tbsp
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 stick butter (8 tbsp)

How To Make Peach Cobbler

1. Preheat and Melt

Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees. While it warms up, place the stick of butter in your baking dish and let it melt in the oven. This will form a luscious base for your cobbler.

2. Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, ¾ cup of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and milk. Whisk this mixture until it forms a smooth, pourable batter. This will be the delectable crust that envelops your juicy fruits.

3. Prepare the Fruits

Take your sliced peaches and pitted cherries and transfer them into a large bowl. Sprinkle them with 2 tablespoons of sugar. This slight dusting enhances their natural flavors, giving your cobbler a burst of sweetness.

4. Layering Goodness

Now, take half of your sugared fruits and spread them over the melted butter in the baking dish. This layering technique ensures every bite is packed with fruity goodness.

5. Pour and Spread

Gently pour your prepared batter over the first layer of fruits. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover everything perfectly – as it bakes, it will spread and encase the fruits beautifully. Then, add the remaining fruits on top of the batter, creating a mosaic of vibrant colors and flavors.

6. A Final Sweet Touch

To add that extra touch of sweetness and a lovely, crispy texture, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the top.

7. Bake to Perfection

Slide your cobbler into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 55 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the crust turns a golden brown hue and the cobbler has a slight, enticing puff to it.

8. Serve and Savor

The moment has arrived to indulge in the delightful fruits of your labor. Serve your old-fashioned peach cobbler while it’s still warm, ideally with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of the warm, fruity filling and the cool creaminess of the ice cream is a match made in dessert heaven.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use frozen peaches and cherries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can definitely use frozen peaches and cherries if fresh ones aren’t available. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using, and adjust the sugar to taste since frozen fruit can be slightly sweeter.

What’s the difference between self-rising flour and all-purpose flour?

Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt, which are already mixed in. All-purpose flour doesn’t have these additives, so you’d need to include them separately if using it in this recipe.

Can I substitute butter with a different type of fat?

While butter gives the cobbler its classic rich flavor, you can experiment with substitutes like margarine or even coconut oil for a different twist. Just keep in mind that it might alter the taste slightly.

What’s the best way to store leftover cobbler?

If you have any leftovers (which might be rare!), cover the cobbler and store it in the refrigerator. You can reheat individual portions in the oven or microwave for a warm treat later.

Can I make this cobbler gluten-free?

Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend in place of the self-rising flour to make this cobbler gluten-free. Just ensure the blend contains a leavening agent like baking powder.

What other fruits can I use in this recipe?

You can get creative with your fruit choices! Apples, pears, berries, or even a combination of different fruits work beautifully in this cobbler. Just adjust the sugar and spices to complement your chosen fruits.
