how to make the best cobbler
Cobbler is essentially only two main components; the fruit filling and the crumble topping. Cobbler is a bit different from a fruit crisp because the topping is usually made from sweet biscuits.
- The first step is the prep the peaches by peeling and slicing them.
- Mix the sliced peaches with melted vegan butter, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. This will make the thick syrup when baked!
- Make the cobbler topping by combining the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, plant milk, vegan butter and vanilla.
- Spread the peaches onto the bottom of a baking dish.
- Then, top the peaches with the cobbler batter.
- Bake at 375F for about 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling!
how to serve the peach cobbler
This homemade easy peach cobbler is best served warm the first or second day. The fresh peaches will be bubbly in their thick sticky syrup and the biscuit topping will be warm and crispy. Vegan cobbler is delicious served with dairy free whipped cream or with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
fruit cobbler faq:
While I have only tried making this particular recipe with fresh peaches, canned or frozen peaches would most likely work as well.
If using canned peaches, drain all the syrup or liquid from the can and only use the peaches. Canned peaches may result in a slightly softer filling once baked.
If using frozen peaches, let them thaw completely before mixing with syrup ingredients. Frozen peaches tend to be less sweet than fresh peaches, so additional sugar may need to be mixed into the filling.
When first out of the oven, the cobbler filling will be more liquidy since it hasn’t completely set up. After cooling for 30 minutes, the filling should be a syrupy consistency, not liquidy.
If you’d like the filling to set up further, place the cobbler into the fridge to completely cool down.
The cobbler topping will be golden brown and hard to the touch when finished baking. To be sure it’s baked all the way through, insert a toothpick into the center of the baking dish. It should remove cleanly without any wet batter (although if you insert it too far the peach filling will get on it).
