Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter (plant-based)
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk (plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches into even pieces. In a large bowl, gently toss the peach slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and juices to release.
- Make the Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Cut in the cold plant-based butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly stir in the plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural) until the batter is smooth and just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling evenly into a greased baking dish. Spoon the cobbler batter over the filling, spreading gently and unevenly, leaving some peach pieces exposed for a rustic look.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches that are fragrant and slightly soft for the best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, tender crust.
- Allow the peach filling to rest so the fruit can macerate and release its juices.
- Keep the plant-based butter cold to achieve a crumbly, flaky texture.
- Check the cobbler for doneness by looking for bubbly filling and a crisp golden crust.
