Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed fresh fruit (e.g., peaches, berries, apples)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed fresh fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss until the fruits are evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the fruit filling, leaving a few small gaps to allow steam to escape.
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for added flavor.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
