Peach and blackberry cobbler is a quintessential summer dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the tartness of fresh blackberries. This version of the classic cobbler is perfect for those who love the combination of juicy fruits with a buttery, golden crust. The beauty of this cobbler lies in its simplicity and the way the flavours meld together as it bakes. The peaches and blackberries release their juices, creating a luscious filling that pairs perfectly with the tender, biscuit-like topping. It's an ideal dessert for a summer gathering, or simply to enjoy with family on a warm evening.

Instructions

Prepare the fruit filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Pro tip: Ensure the fruit is evenly mixed with the cornstarch to prevent clumping.

Mix dry ingredients for topping

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Pro tip: Use a fork to break up any clumps in the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.

Add butter to dry mix

Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Pro tip: Work quickly to keep the butter cold, which helps create a flakier topping.

Combine with milk

Pour the milk into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Pro tip: The batter should be slightly lumpy and thick, which is perfect for topping the cobbler.

Top the fruit filling

Spoon the batter evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, leaving some gaps for the fruit to bubble through.

Pro tip: This rustic look is part of the charm of a cobbler.

Bake the cobbler

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Pro tip: Check the cobbler halfway through and rotate if necessary for even baking.

Cool before serving

Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices thicken slightly.
