Make Peachy Fruit Cobbler once and discover a cobbler formula for all seasons! Easy to vary for fresh fruit cobblers all year long.
Substitute 4 ½ cups of any combination of fruits, like plums and blackberries or apples and cranberries (add more sugar!).
Special request
This peachy fruit cobbler recipe was a request from an old friend. How could I resist?
Don’t wait much longer though- buy fresh peaches or your favorite stone fruits before the season ends! The choices are dizzying, from plums and nectarines to apricots, pluots and hybrids.
I took my research seriously and baked a few different cobblers from time honored recipes, like Chez Panisse’s Blueberry Cobbler and the magazine Bon Appétit’s Cherry Biscuit Cobbler to find the right taste and techniques.
Keep it simple
Making cobbler should be simple, so the recipe below uses a drop biscuit topping. No rolling pin required! Just scoop the shaggy dough onto the fruit with an ice cream scoop or tablespoon and bake!
Pandemic rules…
Let’s face it!
Covid-19 has required all of us to make the best of our pantry and freezer supplies.
When there’s no fresh fruit around…
Jars, cans and frozen fruit make good cobblers too!
So drain those canned or jarred peaches. Thaw out the frozen berries.
Taste and adjust for sugar, lemon and spices.
Put 2 + cups of different fruits in each cobbler with the same biscuit topping.
Making cobbler is good therapy.
- Choose your favorite fruits
- Use your hands to make biscuits
- Inhale the deep fruity and yeasty aromas as the cobbler bakes
- Enjoy and delight your family and friends
Messy is okay.
Don’t worry if your cobbler isn’t picture perfect. Cobbler is casual; meant to be scooped into bowls, topped with a splash of cream or ice cream and enjoyed with abandon.
Have fun and experiment with your favorite fruit combinations.
