Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches are the star of this cobbler! If they aren’t in season, you can use canned or frozen peaches. Just make sure to drain the canned ones well.
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries bring a lovely tartness. You can swap them for blackberries or blueberries if needed. Frozen berries work in a pinch as well!
Sugar: Granulated sugar is the usual choice, but you can substitute with brown sugar for a deeper flavor. Maple syrup also works well if you’re looking for a natural sweetener.
Milk: Whole milk keeps the batter rich, but almond milk or oat milk can substitute for those with dairy restrictions. Buttermilk adds a little tang and works wonderfully too!
Butter: For a dairy-free version, coconut oil or a plant-based butter can be used. Just make sure it’s cold for the best texture in the topping.
How Do I Ensure a Perfectly Golden Topping?
Getting that golden, crispy topping is key for a great cobbler! Here are some tips:
- Use cold butter when mixing it into the flour. This helps create a flaky texture.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Just combine until you see no dry flour. This keeps it soft and tender.
- Make sure to spread your batter evenly over the fruit. It should not be completely flat; some unevenness is fine, as it will spread during baking.
- Keep an eye on your timer. If it’s not browning after 35 minutes, you might need a few extra minutes but watch it closely to avoid burning!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful cobbler takes about 15 minutes to prepare and then 35-40 minutes to bake. So, you’re looking at about an hour total from start to finish! Just enough time to get your kitchen smelling amazing.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a 9-inch round or square baking dish and grease it lightly so your cobbler doesn’t stick.
2. Prepare the Fruit Filling:
In a large bowl, add your sliced peaches, fresh raspberries, 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently so all the fruit is coated evenly. Pour this lovely fruit mixture into the greased baking dish.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping:
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Now, take your cold butter pieces and cut them into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs. This will give your topping that nice, flaky texture!
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
Next, stir in the milk and vanilla extract into the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t overmix—just enough to form a soft batter.
5. Assemble the Cobbler:
Spoon the batter evenly over the fruit in the baking dish. It’s okay if it’s a bit uneven; it will spread out as it bakes.
6. Bake:
Place your baking dish in the oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Your kitchen will smell fantastic!
7. Cool & Serve:
Once baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if you like. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for the ultimate treat!
Enjoy this warm, comforting dish that brings together sweet peaches and tangy raspberries in every delicious bite!
FAQ for Easy Peach and Raspberry Cobbler
Can I Use Canned or Frozen Fruit Instead?
Yes, you can! For canned fruit, just make sure to drain it well before using. If opting for frozen fruit, there’s no need to thaw; you can add it directly to the recipe, but you might want to increase the baking time by a few minutes to ensure it’s heated through.
How Do I Store Leftover Cobbler?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the microwave or cover it and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Can I Make This Cobbler Gluten-Free?
Absolutely! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just make sure it has a 1:1 ratio to regular flour. This will keep the texture delightful while accommodating gluten sensitivities.
What Are Some Serving Suggestions?
For a delicious twist, try serving the cobbler with whipped cream or yogurt instead of ice cream. You can also pair it with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream for added flavor!
