Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch square or similar-sized baking dish.
Peel (if desired), pit and slice the peaches into ½-inch wedges. Place in a large bowl.
Add the mixed berries to the peaches. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain excess liquid.
To the fruit, add ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Assembly
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk 1½ cups flour, ¼ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in ½ cup milk just until combined — don’t overmix.
Spoon or drop dollops of the topping over the fruit. It’s okay if gaps remain; the topping will spread as it bakes.
Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar if using.
Baking
Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly. Tent loosely with foil if the topping browns too quickly.
Serving
Let the cobbler rest for 10–20 minutes to thicken slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm whole portions in the oven. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
