Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh or frozen fruit/berries (such as peaches, apples, blueberries, or blackberries)
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.33 cups unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 0.5 cups heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fruit or berries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.
Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the heavy cream until just combined to form a soft dough.
Drop dollops of the dough over the fruit filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
Brush the dough lightly with additional heavy cream and sprinkle with a little extra sugar for a golden, crunchy top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
