Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced pitted and sliced
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for fruit
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken fruit juices
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour for topping
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold cubed

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Spatula
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated and begins to release juice. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. This creates the juicy, flavorful base for your cobbler.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then, add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gradually add a few tablespoons of cold water to the flour mixture, mixing until just combined and the dough holds together when pressed. Do not overmix to keep the topping tender and crispy.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the fruit filling, covering as much of the surface as possible. The topping will spread and form a crumbly crust during baking.
  7. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Keep an eye on it in the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. The fruit mixture will thicken further, and the topping will become crisp and flaky.
  9. Serve your warm strawberry peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. Enjoy the bright, sweet flavors and comforting texture.

Notes

For best results, chill the fruit mixture before assembling to prevent sinking of the topping. Adjust baking time slightly if your topping browns too quickly, tent with foil as needed.
