Ingredients:

  • 8 large fresh peaches, (peeled, pitted and sliced)
  • 1/3 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup organic sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup organic brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup organic sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 stick earth balance® butter, (cut into small pieces)
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 4 tsp organic sugar
  • Cooking Instructions:

    Let’s get started on this delightful summer treat! The process is straightforward, and the results are incredibly rewarding. We’ll begin extract by preparing our luscious peach filling and then move on to crafting that irresistible topping.

    Preparing the Peach Filling

  • First things first, we need to prepare our beautiful peaches. This involves peeling, pitting, and slicing them. You can peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately transferring them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily after this. Once peeled, cut them in half, remove the pits, and then slice them into roughly 1/2-inch thick pieces. Don’t worry about perfection here; rustic is the name of the game! Place these sliced peaches into a large mixing bowl.
  • Now, let’s enhance their natural sweetness and add a touch of magic. Sprinkle the sliced peaches with 1/3 cup of organic brown sugar and 1/3 cup of organic sugar. The lemon juice is crucial here; it not only adds a bright, zesty counterpoint to the sweetness but also helps prevent the peaches from browning. Next, we’ll incorporate the corn starch, which acts as our thickener. Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of corn starch evenly over the peaches. Finally, add the warm, comforting spices: 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Gently toss everything together with a large spoon or your hands until the peaches are evenly coated. Set this glorious peach mixture aside while we prepare the topping.
  • Crafting the Cobbler Topping

    1. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, we’ll assemble the dry ingredients for our cobbler topping. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour. Add 1/3 cup of organic brown sugar and 1/3 cup of organic sugar to the flour. Next, add the leavening agent, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, which will help our topping rise and become wonderfully tender. A touch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon, is important for balancing the sweetness and enhancing all the flavors. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure everything is well combined. This creates a beautiful, fluffy base for our cobbler.
    2. Now comes the butter, which is key to a rich and delicious topping. Add 1 stick (which is 1/2 cup) of Earth Balance® butter, cut into small pieces, directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, two forks, or even your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crum extractbs, with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. These little pockets of butter will melt during baking, creating tender layers and a delightful texture. It’s important not to overmix at this stage; we want those distinct butter pieces.
    3. This next step is a bit unconventional but absolutely vital for achieving that perfectly moist and slightly cakey cobbler topping. We’re going to gradually incorporate boiling water. Carefully pour 1/3 cup of boiling water into the flour and butter mixture. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. The batter will be quite thick and a little lumpy – this is exactly what we want! Don’t be tempted to add more liquid. This technique creates a unique texture that sets this cobbler apart.
    4. Assembling and Baking Your Cobbler

      1. Now it’s time to bring it all together. Pour the prepared peach filling into a 9×13 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish. Spread the peaches out evenly. Then, carefully spoon the cobbler topping over the peaches. Don’t worry about spreading it perfectly to the edges; let it fall naturally, creating lovely rustic dollops. Finally, for a touch of sparkle and extra crispness, sprinkle the remaining 4 teaspoons of organic sugar over the top of the cobbler. This will create a beautiful, glistening crust as it bakes.
      2. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Place the assembled cobbler on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips) in the preheated oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and puffed, and the peach filling is bubbly and thickened. You’ll see the juices gently bubbling around the edges, a sure sign that it’s ready. The aroma that will emanate from your oven during this time is truly heavenly. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set properly. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, for the ultimate summer indulgence. Enjoy every spoonful!
