Cherry Peach Cobbler

Description

A simple, yet delectable, dessert made with fresh cherries and peaches, topped with a sweet biscuit topping. 

Ingredients
    Filling
  • 2 lbs (5 med.) peaches, peeled, pitted & sliced (yellow)
  • 325 grams (2 cups) dark cherries, pitted & halved
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Biscuit Topping
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold (cut into small cubes)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
    Filling
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. 

    In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the prepared peaches, cherries, cornstarch, vanilla extract, sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice until well combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish, evenly spread, and set aside. 

  2. Biscuit Topping
  3. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined. 

    To the flour mixture, add the cold + cubed unsalted butter and use either a pastry cutter, fork, or fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture. (if using fingertips, try to work fast to avoid melting the butter) The flour mixture should start to resemble wet sand. 

  4. 3

    Add the egg and milk into the flour mixture and stir well to combine. The mixture should be on the thicker side. If you find it is way too thick to manage, add 1 tbsp of milk and mix.  

  5. 4

    Spoon the biscuit mixture over the prepared fruit, spreading the topping out a bit, until all the biscuit mixture is used. It's okay if it doesn't completely cover the fruit. (see photo in blog post)

    Sprinkle coarse sugar over top (optional).

  6. 5

    Place the dish in preheated oven and bake for 45mins-1 hr, until the top is beautifully golden brown and the edges are bubbling. 

    Let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into the cobbler. 

    Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and enjoy!
