Cobbler is by far my favorite dessert. Since my mom owns a bakery that has the best cakes in the world :)...Cake wasn't on our list of things we wanted for our birthday. My brother always wanted the big cookie, but for me it was cobbler. This is a pretty simple recipe for a blueberry peach cobbler. For this cobbler you will need...
about 3 pounds of peaches
1 cup of blueberries
2/3 C granulated sugar and some extra to sprinkle on top
3 T cornstarch
2 T packed brown-sugar
1 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 t ground cinnamon
salt
2 C all-purpose flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
1 t vanilla
1 C plus 2 T heavy cream...I used half and half plus some to brush
Start by preheating your oven to 375. Peel and cut your peaches into segments. I stuck mine in some boiling water and then cold water to help peel them easier...be careful because they get slippery. Stir together peaches, blueberries, 1/3 C sugar, cornstarch, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and combine. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and set aside while you make the crust.
Add flour, baking powder, chilled butter, 1/2 t salt and remaining 1/3 C sugar into a food processor and pulse to get pea sized pieces. Add vanilla and cream or half and half to bowl and then add dry ingredients and stir to combine. This will make a very sticky dough.
Spoon dough onto the peaches and berries in about 10 spoonfuls or so it covers the peaches.
Bake cobbler for about 60-70 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Take out and cool for at least and hour and then serve!
