Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butter 2 round baking dishes, 8 or 10 inches in diameter.
- Combine the flour and sugar in a bowl or food processor.
- All ingredients should be cold.
- Add 1 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces.
- Process for about 10 seconds or until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Alternatively, use a pastry blender or two knives to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add ice water a few drops at a time, just until dough holds together without being wet or sticky.
- Test the dough by squeezing a small amount together.
- If it is too crumbly, add a bit more water.
Tips & Substitutions
Ensure your butter and water are ice cold to achieve a flaky crust. If you don’t have vanilla sugar, you can substitute with regular sugar and add a splash of vanilla extract. You can also mix in other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a twist. When mixing, be careful not to overwork the dough to keep it tender.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with My Own Dried Apple Stack Cake for a dessert spread. Consider serving it alongside a light salad or a scoop of yogurt for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through, about 15-20 minutes. This helps maintain the crust's texture and prevents it from becoming soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen peaches and nectarines instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches and nectarines, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before using them. This will help prevent a soggy cobbler. Frozen fruit may also require a few extra minutes of baking time.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of this cobbler, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to mimic the texture of regular flour. Adjust the baking time as needed.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour on your work surface and gently fold it in. Avoid over-kneading, as this can toughen the dough. If it remains sticky, refrigerate it for 30 minutes to firm up before rolling out.
