Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
- 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/3 cup cold plant-based butter
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel, pit, and slice the fresh peaches into bite-sized pieces. Toss them gently with brown sugar (natural), salt, cinnamon (natural), nutmeg (natural), and the natural gelling agent to thicken the mixture as it bakes. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (natural). Cut in the cold plant-based butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar until just combined. The batter should be soft but not runny.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping evenly over the peaches, leaving small gaps to allow steam to escape and the peaches to bubble through beautifully.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches that feel slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping light and tender.
- Allow the baked cobbler to rest for at least 15 minutes to set the filling properly.
- Adjust brown sugar (natural) according to the ripeness of the peaches for balanced sweetness.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream or plant-based whipped cream.
