Peach Blueberry Cobbler
A luscious peach and blueberry cobbler with a sweet, fruity filling and tender topping, perfect for summer gatherings or cozy family desserts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place blueberries and chopped peaches in a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and the egg to form a batter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the fruit in the dish.
- Drizzle with melted margarine over the batter.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar on top.
- Bake at 375°F uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen peaches can be used—just make sure to thaw and drain them before mixing. You can substitute butter for margarine if preferred. For an extra crunch, top with chopped nuts or oats before baking, reminiscent of the topping in similar American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delicious contrast to the fruit's sweetness. This cobbler pairs beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or can be enjoyed as a breakfast treat alongside yogurt. For a twist, try it with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Storage & Reheating
Allow the cobbler to cool completely before storing. It can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds, but be aware that the topping may lose some crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits in this cobbler?
Absolutely! This recipe is versatile, so feel free to substitute or add fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or even apples. Just keep in mind that different fruits may affect the baking time slightly, so monitor the cobbler closely.
Is it necessary to peel the peaches?
Peeling the peaches is optional. Leaving the skin on can add texture and additional nutrients. If using non-organic peaches, you may want to peel them to avoid pesticides. Either way, the cobbler will be delicious!
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the fruit mixture and batter separately a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator, and then assemble and bake them just before serving. This is a great way to save time if you're entertaining guests.
