This Rustic Blueberry Peach Cobbler is a celebration of summer's bounty, bringing together juicy blueberries and ripe peaches beneath a golden, buttery crust. It's a simple, yet satisfying dessert that’s perfect for showcasing fresh, seasonal fruits.
Blueberries and peaches are the stars of this cobbler, providing natural sweetness and a juicy texture. The granulated sugar enhances their flavors without overpowering them. The all-purpose flour forms the base of the crust, while the brown sugar adds a hint of molasses-like richness. Unsalted butter, melted, makes for a moist and tender crust. Baking powder helps the crust rise slightly, creating a light texture. Milk and vanilla extract bring a creamy, fragrant note to the batter. A sprinkle of cinnamon adds warmth, and a pinch of salt balances the sweetness.
This cobbler is divine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. If you’re feeling adventurous, try it with a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
First, get your oven preheated to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it's nice and hot by the time your cobbler is ready to bake. In a mixing bowl, gently toss together the fresh blueberries, sliced peaches, and granulated sugar. You want to coat the fruit without mashing them, so be gentle. Set this aside to let the flavors meld.
Next, grab another bowl and mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms. It should be thick but pourable.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Now, evenly spoon the fruit mixture over the batter. Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top to give it a warm, inviting aroma.
Pop the dish into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You're looking for a golden-brown top, and a toothpick inserted into the crust should come out clean. Once done, let it cool slightly before serving—a bit of patience here pays off with a firmer texture.
