Peach and Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients

While some cobblers use a crumble or biscuit topping, we’re going full-on cake-like peach and blackberry cobbler today.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this peach and blackberry cobbler:

Fresh peaches: While you can opt for canned peaches, there’s just something about fresh peaches that really makes a cobbler special.

Fresh blackberries: These bring the perfect tartness.

Basil: Optional, but really works well with the peaches and blackberries.

Sugar: Both white and brown sugar.

Lemon juice: To brighten this dish.

Cinnamon and vanilla extract: For warmth.

Cornstarch: To help thicken the filling.

Flour, baking powder, milk, salt, and eggs: For the batter.

Unsalted butter: Melted.

HOW TO MAKE PEACH AND BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Let’s get started!

STEP 1: PEEL YOUR PEACHES

The first thing you’ll want to do is peel your peaches. (Also, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F at this time.)

Now while you can sit there and peel them with a peeler or pairing knife, who honestly has time for that!? Peach skin is ANNOYING AF.

Instead, let’s do the boiled water and ice bath method.

Boil some water. Once it’s boiling, drop a few peaches in for just a minute. When done, fish it out and add it to an ice bath. Let them bobble around while you finish the batch.

Once the peach is cooled to the touch, the skin should slide right off. LITERALLY MAGIC.

Once you have your peaches looking gorgeously skinless, cut them into slices and add them to a pot.

STEP 2: COOK THE FILLING

Add the peaches and blackberries along with the basil, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, corn starch, and lemon juice. Mix everything together and bring to a boil. Let cook for just about 1-3 minutes and then remove from the heat and set aside.

STEP 3: MAKE THE BATTER

Make the batter by combining the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together, then add the milk and one egg. Whisk until combined and smooth.

STEP 4: PREPARE YOUR BAKING DISH.

Now take a 9×13 baking dish (I just used this one because it’s pretty), and pour the melted butter directly into the dish, allowing it to spread all around.

Next, pour the batter directly on top of the butter, but make sure NOT TO STIR it together (similar to a dutch baby).

STEP 5: ADD THE FILLING AND BAKE

Now spoon the filling (the juices!) on to the batter, making sure not to stir.

Add right to the oven and let bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the middle is set and the top is golden.
