Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, chilled
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (plus splash as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel, slice, and toss fresh peaches with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, natural gelling agent, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Let the mixture sit to absorb the spices and soften.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Cut in chilled plant-based butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add apple cider vinegar slowly to bring dough together into a tender consistency.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish. Drop topping dough over peaches in spoonfuls, leaving gaps. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles.
- Cool and Serve: Allow cobbler to cool slightly so the filling sets with the natural gelling agent. Serve warm, optionally topped with plant-based vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of plant-based cream.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor.
- Do not overmix the topping dough to keep it light and tender.
- Adjust sweetness in the filling before baking if needed.
- Prepare peaches and filling a few hours ahead for deeper flavor.
- Serve fresh and warm for optimal taste and texture.
