Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 8 peaches (sliced)
- 1 pound strawberries (halved or quartered)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Topping
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 ⅛ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Raw sugar (for topping, about ¼ cup or to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Fruit Mixture: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a 9×13-inch glass baking dish, combine the sliced peaches and halved or quartered strawberries. Toss them with ¼ cup sugar, 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon until the fruit is well coated. Spread the fruit evenly in the dish and set aside.
- Make the Topping: In a mixing bowl, melt ¾ cup unsalted butter. Stir in 1 ⅛ cups granulated sugar, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt, and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract. The mixture will resemble crumbly cookie dough and should press together when squeezed.
- Assemble and Bake: Dollop the topping evenly across the fruit layer, gently pressing it down if desired. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, sprinkle raw sugar generously on top (about ¼ cup or as preferred). Continue baking for another 15 minutes.
- Broil for Golden Finish: Once baking is complete, broil the cobbler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the topping turns a rich golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 25-30 minutes to let it set properly. For best flavor and texture, serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for one day and refrigerated afterward.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh peaches and strawberries for the best flavor.
- You can adjust the amount of sugar according to the sweetness of your fruit.
- Make sure to let the cobbler cool before serving to achieve the right texture.
- Broiling time can vary by oven; watch carefully to avoid burning the topping.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 2-3 days.
