- 2 cups fresh blackberries - 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced - 1 cup granulated sugar (divided) - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 tablespoon baking powder - ½ teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 1 cup whole milk - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted - Vanilla ice cream (for serving) Using fresh fruit makes a big difference in this recipe. The blackberries and peaches give great flavor. I love to slice the peaches thin for even cooking. The sugar adds sweetness, while lemon juice brightens the fruit. Vanilla extract brings out the flavors even more. For the dry mix, flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon blend well. The baking powder helps the cobbler rise. The salt balances the sweetness, while cinnamon adds a warm taste. When you mix the wet ingredients, use whole milk for creaminess. Melted butter adds richness. This makes the batter smooth and tasty. To serve, I always suggest vanilla ice cream on top. It melts slightly on the warm cobbler, making it extra delicious. To start, take a large bowl. In it, combine 2 cups of fresh blackberries and 2 cups of sliced peaches. Add ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Toss the fruit gently. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes. This helps the fruit release its juices, making it sweet and flavorful. Next, grab another bowl. Whisk together the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of whole milk and ½ cup of melted unsalted butter. Slowly pour this mix into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Remember, a few lumps are okay. Do not overmix the batter. Now it's time to layer. In a seasoned cast-iron skillet, pour the fruit mixture evenly on the bottom. Then, spoon the batter on top of the fruit. You do not need to cover all the fruit with batter. Just let it spread out naturally. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the batter. If it comes out clean, your cobbler is ready. Once baked, remove the skillet. Let it cool slightly before serving. When picking peaches, look for ones that are slightly soft. Their skin should have a nice golden hue. For blackberries, choose plump and shiny ones. They should not be mushy or have any mold. Fresh fruit makes a big difference in taste. Always check for small blemishes. If you find any, skip those fruits. Mixing the batter too much can ruin your cobbler. When you combine the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently. A few lumps are fine. This keeps the texture light and fluffy. If you overmix, the batter can become tough. Remember, less is more when it comes to mixing. Serve your cobbler warm straight from the skillet. It looks great and tastes even better. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream melts into the warm cobbler, creating a perfect blend. Drizzle some of the fruit juices from the skillet over the top. This adds flavor and makes it look fancy. You can also sprinkle some cinnamon for an extra touch. {{image_2}} You can switch the fruits in this cobbler. Cherries work well because they are sweet and juicy. Apples are another great choice. They add a nice crunch and a bit of tartness. You can even mix fruits for a unique taste. Just keep the same amount of fruit to ensure good results. To make this cobbler gluten-free, use alternative flours. Almond flour or coconut flour can work well. You can also use a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Just check the blend for a good rise. This way, everyone can enjoy this tasty dessert without worries. Add spices to boost the flavor of your cobbler. Nutmeg gives a warm, sweet taste. Almond extract adds a nice nutty flavor that pairs well with fruit. A dash of cardamom can also bring a new twist. These small changes can make your cobbler even more delightful. After baking your blackberry peach cobbler, let it cool. Place the skillet on a heat-safe surface. Allow it to cool for about 30 minutes. This helps the juices set. Once cooled, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This keeps it fresh and moist for later. Store any leftovers in the fridge. Use an airtight container or keep it covered in the skillet. It will stay good for up to 3 days. To keep the fruit fresh, avoid leaving it out at room temperature. Always refrigerate promptly after it cools. To enjoy your cobbler again, reheat it gently. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Warm the cobbler for about 15 minutes. This will help keep the crust crisp. If you're in a hurry, you can use the microwave. Heat individual servings for 30-60 seconds. Just be careful, as it can get hot! Blackberry peach cobbler can last up to four days in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container. If you want it to last longer, you can freeze it. In the freezer, it can last for up to three months. Just make sure it cools completely before you freeze it. Yes, you can use frozen fruit for this cobbler. It works well and saves time. Just remember to thaw the fruit first. Drain any excess liquid before mixing it with sugar and lemon juice. This prevents your cobbler from being too soggy. You can prepare the fruit and batter ahead of time. Keep them in separate bowls in the fridge. Just combine and bake them before serving. If you bake it ahead, let it cool completely. Then, store it in the fridge. You can reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes. Serve the cobbler warm for the best taste. You can scoop it directly from the skillet. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. The cold ice cream melts into the warm cobbler. It creates a delightful mix of flavors and textures.

Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh blackberries

2 cups fresh peaches, sliced

1 cup granulated sugar (divided)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sliced peaches, ½ cup of the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the fruit and let it sit for about 10 minutes to release its juices.

      In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

        In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and melted butter together until combined. Slowly pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          In a seasoned cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe skillet, pour the fruit mixture evenly over the bottom. Then, spoon the batter over the top of the fruit; it can be spread out gently but don’t worry about it fully covering the fruit.

            Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

              Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
