Description

A delightful sourdough peach cobbler featuring ripe, juicy peaches and a flaky sourdough crust made with plant-based butter. This comforting, plant-based dessert uses a natural gelling agent to create a luscious peach filling that is perfectly thickened without overpowering the fresh fruit. Warm spices of cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the sweet peaches, complemented by the subtle tang of the sourdough crust. Perfect served fresh from the oven with plant-based toppings for a cozy year-round treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Crust

  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1 1/4 cups flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • Plant-based milk, for brushing
  • 1 tablespoon natural brown sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and slice the peaches into even, bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, gently toss peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices and deepen flavors.
  2. Make the Sourdough Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter, flour (or gluten-free blend), plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar, natural vanilla extract, and salt. Work the ingredients together until forming a slightly sticky but manageable dough. Chill briefly to relax the dough.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a buttered baking dish. Crumble or roll out the sourdough crust and cover the peaches, leaving gaps for steam to escape. Brush the crust lightly with plant-based milk and sprinkle with brown sugar.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and flaky and the filling bubbles at the edges. Allow to cool slightly to let the filling set before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the juiciest, most flavorful filling.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a flaky crust texture.
  • Let the spiced peaches macerate for at least 10 minutes to enhance flavor.
  • Monitor baking time carefully to avoid a dry crust or runny filling.
  • Allow cobbler to rest before serving to help the filling set properly.
