Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • ยฝ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1ยฝ teaspoons baking powder
  • ยผ teaspoon salt
  • ยพ cup milk (180ml), whole milk preferred
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56g), melted
  • ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches and blackberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and the optional ยฝ teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  4. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract if using. Stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  5. Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter or oil.
  6. Pour the batter into the skillet and spread evenly with a spatula.
  7. Spoon the fruit mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The fruit should be bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If the crust browns too fast, cover the skillet loosely with foil halfway through baking. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the crust light and tender. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Frozen blackberries can be used without thawing but may require extra baking time. For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour. Vegan adaptations include using plant-based milk and dairy-free butter or coconut oil.
