INGREDIENTS
Filling:
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Make the Filling:
- Arrange the sliced peaches and pitted cherries evenly in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the fruit.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Grate the cold butter using a box grater directly into the flour mixture. Use a fork to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the fruit filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble through. Sprinkle additional sugar on top, if desired.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
NOTES
- Fresh vs. Frozen Fruit: While fresh fruit works best, you can substitute with frozen peaches and cherries. Thaw and drain any excess liquid before using to avoid a watery filling.
