Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 5 cups ripe, juicy fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (such as pectin or agar)
Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold plant-based butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/3 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice peaches into even, juicy chunks. Toss them in a large bowl with sugar, cinnamon (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and apple cider vinegar (natural) until well combined to create a sweet and tangy filling.
- Make the Crust: In a separate bowl, mix the flour (or gluten-free flour blend), sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold plant-based butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add plant-based milk and vanilla extract (natural) and gently mix to form a soft, pliable dough.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the natural gelling agent evenly over the fruit to help thicken the juices during baking. Drop spoonfuls of the crust dough over the filling, leaving some gaps so the fruit can bubble through for a rustic look.
- Bake the Cobbler: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. The fragrance will fill the kitchen, indicating it is ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the crust dough to keep it tender and flaky.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set.
- Adjust sugar amounts depending on peach ripeness.
- Brush the crust edges with plant-based milk before baking for a shiny golden finish.
