Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh mixed fruit (e.g., peaches, blackberries, raspberries, or apples)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the fruit mixture, leaving some gaps to allow the fruit to bubble through.
Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar, if desired, for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
