Peach and Berry Cobbler
- Combines juicy peaches with a mix of berries for a seasonal flavor explosion.

- Customizable for dietary needs, gluten-free or dairy-free options available!
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches, sliced
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and mixed berries. Add half a cup of granulated sugar and gently toss to coat the fruit. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to develop. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining sugar. Then, gradually add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, followed by the fruit mixture. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Let it cool slightly before serving!
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- Try mixing in other seasonal fruits like cherries or raspberries.
- For a crispy top, sprinkle a little extra sugar on top before baking.
