Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and position the oven rack in the middle.
- Remove small stems from each fig and cut into quarters.
- Mix the figs with the sliced peaches, raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and water.
- Spoon the fruit mixture into a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish.

Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fruit mixture. If fresh figs aren't available, dried figs can be rehydrated in warm water for 30 minutes. You can also substitute blackberries or blueberries for the raspberries for a different taste. To enhance the topping, try adding a sprinkle of oats into the flour mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Grace'S Tangy Vegetable Salad for a balanced meal. Consider a light dessert wine to complement the sweetness of the fruit.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the cobbler in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Microwave reheating is also an option; just cover it to prevent drying out.
