Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup natural sweetener (organic sugar or maple syrup)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (natural)
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Cobbler Crust Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp natural sweetener (organic sugar or maple syrup)
- 1/2 cup chilled plant-based butter
- 3/4 cup almond milk (or any plant milk like oat or coconut milk)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice about six large fresh peaches. Toss them gently in a bowl with lemon juice, natural sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to draw out natural juices and thicken.
- Make the Cobbler Crust Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural sweetener. Cut in chilled plant-based butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add almond milk, stirring until just combined to create a soft batter.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spread the peach filling evenly in a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of crust batter over the peaches in an irregular pattern, allowing some peaches to show through.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden and the peach filling is bubbly and fragrant.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes for flavors to meld. Serve warm topped with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.
Notes
- Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Do not overmix the crust batter to ensure a tender, flaky texture.
- Use natural gelling agent carefully to keep the filling thick without becoming mushy.
- Allow the filling to rest for 15 minutes to intensify flavors and soften fruit.
- Watch baking time closely to avoid drying the crust or undercooking the filling.
