Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler Recipe

Introduction

This Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler is a delightful summer dessert that combines juicy peaches and tart raspberries under a buttery, golden crust. It’s simple to make and perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Ingredients

• 5 peaches, cut into wedges
• 125 g fresh raspberries
• 75 g caster sugar
• 90 g cold butter (salted or unsalted)
• 90 g caster sugar
• 140 g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons milk
• 2 tablespoons flaked almonds
• Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, toss the peach wedges and raspberries with 75 g caster sugar and lemon zest. Spread the fruit evenly in a baking dish.
2. Step 2: In another bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, and 90 g caster sugar. Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Step 3: Stir in the milk to form a soft dough. Spoon dollops of the dough evenly over the fruit mixture, allowing some gaps for steam to escape. Sprinkle the flaked almonds on top.
4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden and cooked through, and the fruit is bubbling beneath.
5. Step 5: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally with cream or ice cream.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture before baking.
• Substitute the flaked almonds with chopped walnuts or pecans for a different crunch.
• If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned peaches drained well can be used instead.
• Use unsalted butter for better control of salt in the recipe, adding a pinch of salt if needed.

Storage

Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat portions in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to keep the topping crisp.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I freeze the cobbler?

Yes, you can freeze the baked cobbler for up to 1 month. Wrap it tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the oven.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Frozen fruit works well but may release more juice. Thaw and drain excess liquid before using to prevent a soggy topping.

Scale 1x2x3x

Fruit Filling

• 5 peaches, cut into wedges
• 125 g fresh raspberries
• 75 g caster sugar
• Zest of 1 lemon

Cobbler Topping

• 90 g cold butter (salted or unsalted)
• 90 g caster sugar
• 140 g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons milk
• 2 tablespoons flaked almonds

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to warm up while you prepare the filling and topping.
2. Prepare the fruit filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peach wedges, fresh raspberries, 75 g caster sugar, and lemon zest. Toss gently to mix and set aside to allow the fruit to release its juices.
3. Make the cobbler topping. In another bowl, rub the cold butter into the plain flour, baking powder, and 90 g caster sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 teaspoons of milk to bind the dough together gently.
4. Assemble the cobbler. Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish. Spoon the cobbler topping evenly over the fruit, covering it well but not pressing down. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the topping for crunch and flavor.
5. Bake the cobbler. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
6. Cool and serve. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken slightly, enhancing the flavor and texture.

Notes

• Use either salted or unsalted butter based on your preference; reduce added sugar slightly if using salted.
• The milk helps bind the topping but do not add too much to keep the crumbly texture.
• Serve warm, optionally with cream, custard, or vanilla ice cream.
• Can substitute fresh raspberries with frozen; no need to thaw before use.
• For a gluten-free option, substitute plain flour with gluten-free flour blend.
