Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 5–6 firm yet ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup organic brown sugar (natural) or pure maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent (such as pectin or agar)
Batter / Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free version)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup organic brown sugar (natural)
- 6 tablespoons plant-based butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches. In a bowl, gently toss the peaches with the brown sugar or maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Let this mixture sit for several minutes to meld flavors and thicken slightly.
- Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the brown sugar (natural). Cut in the plant-based butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar (natural) and mix until a smooth but thick batter forms.
- Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish lightly with plant-based butter. Spoon the peach filling evenly into the dish. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, leaving some fruit exposed for a rustic look. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10 to 15 minutes. This allows the natural gelling agent to set the filling and deepens the flavors. Serve warm alone or topped with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream or plant-based whipped cream.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches that are slightly soft but not mushy for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender and crumbly.
- Leave gaps in the batter so peach juices can caramelize, adding extra flavor.
- Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even heat distribution and browning.
- Allow the cobbler to rest before serving to ensure the filling sets properly and flavors deepen.
