It offers a fresh twist on a classic cobbler using plant-based ingredients and natural flavorings.

Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Sourdough Crust

  • 1 cup sourdough starter or discard
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches into even pieces. In a large bowl, toss the peaches with brown sugar (natural), lemon juice, ground cinnamon (natural), ground nutmeg (natural), salt, and the natural gelling agent. Mix well to combine, allowing the gelling agent to start thickening the juices.
  2. Mix the Sourdough Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough starter or discard with all-purpose flour, brown sugar (natural), salt, plant-based butter, and natural vanilla extract. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it forms a rough, crumbly dough with visible pockets of butter for a flaky texture.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Evenly spread the peach filling into a baking dish. Gently crumble the sourdough crust dough over the top, covering most of the filling but leaving small gaps so the peaches can peek through and caramelize while baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled cobbler in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown with crispy edges and the peaches are bubbling around the crust.
  5. Cooling and Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for about 15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling settle and thicken for perfect texture and flavor balance.

Notes

  • Use peaches that are sweet and fragrant but still firm to hold shape during baking.
  • Ensure the sourdough starter or discard is active and bubbly for best crust texture.
  • Add just enough natural gelling agent to keep filling thick but not too firm.
  • When crumbling the crust, avoid pressing it down to maintain a crumbly texture.
  • Let the cobbler rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow filling to set properly.
