Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6–7 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup plant-based butter, chilled and cut into pieces
- 1/3 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the peaches into even pieces. In a bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with brown sugar (natural), lemon juice (natural), apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the peach juices to release.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the chilled plant-based butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, stir in the plant-based milk until the dough comes together softly but is not sticky.
- Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the peach filling evenly into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the topping dough over the peach layer in a rustic, free-form manner. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping turns golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly on a wire rack. This resting period helps the filling to set and makes it easier to serve perfect portions.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and juiciness.
- To peel peaches easily, score an “X” on the bottom and dip in hot water briefly.
- Mix the topping dough just until combined to keep the crust tender and flaky.
- Avoid overbaking to prevent the topping from drying out; bake until bubbly and golden.
- Allow the cobbler to rest before serving to avoid runny filling and ensure neat slices.
