Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for variation)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup chilled plant-based butter (plant-based), cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk (plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice fresh peaches into even wedges. Toss them with brown sugar, ground cinnamon (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent to create a luscious filling that thickens perfectly during baking.
- Make the Topping: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in chilled plant-based butter (plant-based) until crumbly. Stir in plant-based milk (plant-based) and apple cider vinegar until just combined to form a soft dough.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the peach mixture evenly into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the topping dough over the peaches, ensuring an even layer for contrast between juicy filling and crispy crust.
- 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 peach filling is bubbly and fragrant.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes before serving to thicken the filling and meld the flavors beautifully.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
- Do not overmix the topping to keep it tender and flaky.
- Slice peaches evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Taste the peach filling before topping to adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
- Let the cobbler rest after baking to develop a luscious syrupy filling.
