Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, washed, peeled, and sliced
- 1/2 cup natural sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup natural sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetarian butter (plant-based), chilled
- 1/3 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Wash, peel, and slice the fresh peaches into thick pieces. In a large bowl, gently toss the peaches with natural sugar, ground cinnamon (natural), and a pinch of salt. Let the mixture sit for several minutes to allow the peaches to release their juices, which will create a delicious syrup during baking.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural sugar. Cut in the chilled vegetarian butter (plant-based) using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar (natural) to form a soft batter.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the peach filling into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the peaches, covering most of the fruit but allowing some to peek through. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Peach Cobbler to cool slightly to set the filling and let the aromas settle. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of plant-based vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped coconut cream for the best experience.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined to keep the topping tender and fluffy.
- Allow the peaches to macerate with sugar prior to baking to develop natural juices and flavor.
- Keep an eye on baking time; look for bubbling fruit and a golden-brown topping as indicators.
- Serve the cobbler warm for the best flavor experience, either fresh from the oven or gently reheated.
