Ingredients
Scale
For the Peach Filling
- 4 to 5 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 to 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
For the Cobbler Crust Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for variation)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold plant-based butter
- 1/3 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Wash and peel fresh peaches, then slice them thinly. Toss the peach slices with granulated sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), nutmeg (natural), vanilla extract (natural), a pinch of salt, and the natural gelling agent. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to release juices and absorb spices.
- Make the Cobbler Crust Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar (natural), baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold plant-based butter until the mixture is crumbly and sandy. Stir in plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar (natural) until a thick, spoonable batter forms.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling evenly into a buttered baking dish. Spoon the crust batter over the peaches in uneven dollops to allow the filling to peek through for a rustic look.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled cobbler in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving to thicken.
Notes
- Choose ripe peaches for best natural sweetness and juiciness.
- Do not overmix the crust batter to keep it tender and flaky.
- Use a natural gelling agent to ensure the filling sets without being runny.
- Let the peach filling rest before baking for deeper flavor and texture.
- Spoon the crust gently in rustic dollops over the fruit for the perfect cobbler look.
