Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but if they’re not in season, frozen peaches work well too. Just thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent sogginess. I love using ripe peaches for that natural sweetness!
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries are ideal for their tartness, but frozen ones are fine too. If you can’t find raspberries, consider using blueberries or strawberries as a substitute.
Sugar: Most recipes use regular granulated sugar, but you can substitute brown sugar for a hint of caramel flavor. I sometimes mix both to get that extra depth of taste.
Flour: All-purpose flour is typically used, but you can substitute it with gluten-free flour if needed. Just check your ratios if using a gluten-free blend.
How Do You Get the Perfect Cobbler Texture?
Getting the right texture is key for a great cobbler. The batter should be smooth and thick but still pourable. Here’s how to ensure success:
- Mix dry ingredients separately before adding wet ones to maintain even distribution.
- When mixing, don’t overwork the batter; it should just come together.
- After pouring the batter, gently spoon the fruit on top. Avoid stirring to keep that beautiful layering!
- Keep an eye on the bake time and look for a golden-brown top.
Easy Raspberry Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Fruit Filling:
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious cobbler will take about 15 minutes of prep time and 40-45 minutes of baking time. Allow an additional 10 minutes to cool slightly before serving, so overall, you’re looking at about 1 hour for a delightful dessert!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it can warm up while you prepare everything else. A well-heated oven ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and beautifully.
2. Prepare the Fruit Filling:
In a large bowl, gently toss your sliced peaches and raspberries with ½ cup of granulated sugar. This helps bring out their natural juices. Let it sit for a few minutes while you whip up the batter!
3. Make the Cobbler Batter:
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup of sugar. Stir to combine. Then, add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Don’t over-mix it—just enough to bring everything together!
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
Pour the batter into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish (or a similar size). Spread it out evenly. Now, take the fruit filling with its lovely juices and spoon it evenly over the batter. Make sure not to stir; you want those gorgeous fruit layers to stay on top!
5. Bake to Perfection:
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on it! It’s done when the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Once out of the oven, let your cobbler cool for about 10 minutes. Serve it warm, and for an extra special treat, dust it with powdered sugar. It goes amazingly well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Enjoy your fresh and fruity raspberry peach cobbler! 🍑💖
