Strawberry-Peach Cobbler
A delightful fruit cobbler featuring sweet peaches and strawberries, topped with a fluffy biscuit-like topping. Perfect for summer gatherings and fruit lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Layer the peaches and strawberries in a shallow 1-quart baking dish.
- Sprinkle the fruit with granulated sugar.
- Dot the fruit with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, allow the peaches and strawberries to sit with the sugar for about 10 minutes before baking, as this will enhance their natural juices. If you prefer a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
This Strawberry-Peach Cobbler is best served warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It pairs beautifully with Farm Biscuits for a delightful brunch. Consider serving it alongside a fresh salad or a light yogurt parfait for a balanced meal. Drizzle with honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or until warm. For a crispier topping, you can also reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches and strawberries in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid to prevent the cobbler from becoming too watery. Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of the frozen fruit.
What can I use instead of whipping cream?
If you don't have whipping cream, you can substitute it with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version. Alternatively, coconut cream can be used for a dairy-free option, which adds a unique flavor that complements the fruit.
How can I make the cobbler topping more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of the cobbler topping, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter. Incorporating a bit of lemon zest also adds a refreshing brightness that complements the sweetness of the peaches and strawberries.
