Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (natural)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Crust & Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (or milk alternative)
Instructions
- Preparing the Peaches: Peel and slice the fresh peaches. In a bowl, toss the peach slices with natural brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, and natural gelling agent until fully combined. Set aside to let the filling develop flavor and thicken slightly.
- Making the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add plant-based butter and gently melt together with plant-based milk or milk alternative until a smooth batter forms, ready to bake into a golden crust.
- Assembling the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish. Evenly spread the batter over the top of the peaches. It is normal if batter does not completely cover all fruit to create the classic cobbler texture.
- Baking Time: Place the assembled cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling bubbles at the edges.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after baking to let the filling set and enhance flavors. Serve warm with optional plant-based vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream and garnish as desired.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches with a sweet aroma and slight softness for best flavor.
- Do not omit the natural gelling agent to achieve perfect filling consistency.
- Let the cobbler rest a few minutes after baking for easier serving and better flavor melding.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on the natural sweetness of your peaches.
- Use a glass baking dish to monitor browning and bubbling during baking.
