Peach and Raspberry Cobbler (Printable)
Fresh peaches and raspberries topped with buttery biscuits, baked until golden and bubbling.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruit Filling
01 - 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4–5 medium peaches)
02 - 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
03 - ½ cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 tbsp cornstarch
05 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
→ Biscuit Topping
07 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
08 - ¼ cup granulated sugar
09 - 1 ½ tsp baking powder
10 - ¼ tsp salt
11 - ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
12 - ⅓ cup whole milk
13 - 1 large egg
→ Optional
14 - 1 tbsp coarse or turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, raspberries, ½ cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Gently toss to coat. Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
03 - In another bowl, whisk together flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
04 - Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Pour over the flour mixture and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
06 - Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping evenly over the fruit. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if using.
07 - Bake for 38–42 minutes, until the topping is golden and the fruit is bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
08 - Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The biscuit topping stays tender underneath while getting wonderfully crispy on top, creating the best of both textures in every bite.
- Fresh summer fruit needs nothing more than a little sugar and a warm oven to become something magical.
02 -
- If your fruit looks especially juicy, add another tablespoon of cornstarch because nothing is worse than a soupy cobbler that never quite sets.
- The foil trick in the last ten minutes saves the topping from burning while still giving the fruit enough time to cook through completely.
03 -
- If you cannot find good fresh peaches, frozen ones work perfectly without thawing first, though you might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- A splash of almond extract instead of vanilla gives this a completely different but equally delicious flavor profile.
