Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Plant-Based Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 8 tablespoons plant-based butter, cold
  • 2/3 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches. In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and the natural gelling agent. Let the mixture sit briefly to enhance flavor melding and allow the peaches to release their natural juices.
  2. Make the Plant-Based Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), baking powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut the cold plant-based butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add the plant-based milk mixed with apple cider vinegar, stirring gently just until a soft dough forms.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the crust dough over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible without overworking the dough.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the peach filling bubbles at the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly to let the filling set. Serve warm, optionally garnished with plant-based vanilla ice cream, whipped cream (plant-based), or fresh mint leaves for contrast and presentation.

Notes

  • Use the freshest, ripest peaches for optimal sweetness and juiciness.
  • Mix the crust dough gently to maintain a tender and flaky texture.
  • Adjust sugar amounts after tasting the peaches to suit natural sweetness.
  • Check the cobbler during baking to avoid overbrowning or drying.
  • Follow instructions on the natural gelling agent package to ensure perfect filling consistency.
