Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Sourdough Dough

  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Peaches: Peel and slice fresh peaches into uniform pieces. Toss them gently with brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), lemon juice (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and mix well to ensure the mixture will thicken perfectly during baking.
  2. Make the Sourdough Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter with all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend) and plant-based butter. Mix gently until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms, careful not to overwork to maintain a flaky texture.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Transfer the peach filling evenly into a baking dish. Drop dollops of the sourdough dough over the top, then use a spatula to gently spread or patch the dough across the fruit, leaving some gaps for steam to escape, creating a rustic appearance.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for approximately 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch, and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly so the filling sets fully. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped coconut cream for a creamy contrast.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juicy texture.
  • Handle the sourdough dough gently to maintain a tender, flaky crust.
  • Slice peaches evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Adjust brown sugar (natural) quantity before baking to suit your preferred sweetness level.
  • Check oven temperature to achieve a crisp crust and caramelized filling.
