The Easiest Fruit Cobbler Made with Peaches *and* Blackberries
My #1 choice for dessert will always fall in the crumble or cobbler category, and there’s not much I crave more than my grandma’s peach and blackberry cobbler.
It has a rich, cakey batter with perfectly buttery-crisp edges. While I’m attributing this nostalgic, decadent, but oh-so-easy cobbler recipe to the archives of my dear Grandma Mary Jane, the recipe card is actually named “Essie’s Peach and Blackberry Cobbler” with blackberries as big as my thumb.
This cobbler comes together simply and quickly. It’s the perfect mid-late summer dessert, when peaches and blackberries are at their peak. My favorite way to eat it is straight from the oven, just cool enough not to turn the top of my mouth into tar paper but still warm for maximum flavor melds.
Enjoy! Heidi
My Tips for Making This Mixed Fruit Cobbler
- Fresh, frozen, or canned? For the freshest taste, use in season, fresh peaches and blackberries in this cobbler. If using frozen or canned peaches, thaw and drain well so the cobbler doesn’t get runny.
- Do you have self-rising flour in the pantry? Go ahead and use that instead of regular and omit the baking powder for one less step to do.
- Feeling adventurous? Toss in some candied ginger or try basil for a natural herby accent to peaches and blackberries.
- Any fruit works! You can substitute any of the fruit you’d care to change up. Readers have left comments saying they’ve paired the peaches with blueberries, cherries, raspberries, and other stone fruits. Sounds delish!
To Peel, or Not to Peel? It’s Up to You!
Peeling peaches for cobbler isn’t essential, and I’ve made it with and without doing so. However, for the sake of a smoother texture I prefer peeling the peaches before adding them to the filling.
Here’s how to peel peaches super quickly:
- Bring a pot of water to rolling boil.
- Gently drop the peaches (3-4 at a time) into the water and boil for 30 to 45 seconds.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pot and cool just enough so you can handle them.
- Wipe the skins away or use a knife to slice thru the peel and gently rub off the fruit.
Blackberry Peach Cobbler in 1-2-3 Steps
Grandma knew what she was doing when she made this blackberry peach cobbler! She kept the ingredients list simple to allow the fresh fruit to really shine.
First, make the batter. It’s a simple combination of:
- Softened butter
- Granulated sugar
- Milk
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
Then, assemble the cobbler. The batter is smoothed into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish and the sliced peaches and blackberries are arranged on top of the batter. Squeeze a little orange juice over top before sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
Bake until the cobbler is golden on top. The batter will rise up through the fruit and create a gorgeous topping! You can serve it immediately or refrigerate the cobbler until you’re ready to serve it up.
