Peach Cherry Cobbler

Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this easy made-from-scratch cobbler recipe is baked with a sweet drop biscuit topping on top of slices of fresh peaches and pitted cherries.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

Filling

2 cups fresh sliced peaches
2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (very cold)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with cooking spray.

For the filling:

Layer the sliced peaches and pitted cherries in the baking dish.
Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the fruit.

For the topping:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a box grater and grate the butter into the same bowl. Cut the butter into the flour with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
Combine the beaten egg, milk, and vanilla. Add it all at once to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened.
Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough over the fruit. Sprinkle the tops with more sugar, if desired.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

I prefer using fresh fruit in this cobbler recipe, but you can also use frozen. If you do use frozen, choose plain peach slices that are not frozen with juices. Allow the peaches and cherries to thaw first, then drain off any liquid before proceeding with the recipe.
