Can I use canned or frozen peaches and blackberries?

Absolutely. Just be sure to drain any syrup from canned fruit, and pat frozen fruit dry to avoid excess moisture. Your cobbler will still bake up beautifully.

Do I have to peel the peaches?

While peeling makes for a silkier texture, you can leave the skins on if you’re short on time or like the extra color and nutrients. The bake’s forgiving either way—just slice them thin.

How do I know when the cobbler is done?

You’ll see the batter puffed and golden with the fruit bubbling up at the sides. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean (save for a bit of soft fruit).

Can this be made a day ahead?

Yes! Simply bake, let cool, cover, and store in the fridge. Reheat before serving to restore its freshness. It’s a fantastic make-ahead dessert for entertaining.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with a handheld mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing gently while alternating with the milk until a smooth batter forms.
Assemble in the Pan: Lightly butter an 8×8-inch baking pan. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the pan. Place the peeled and sliced peaches and the fresh blackberries on top of the batter, distributing them evenly.
Add Citrus and Topping: Squeeze the juice from half an orange over the fruit layer. Sprinkle the top generously with cinnamon sugar to add a sweet, spicy flavor.
Bake: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake has risen up around the fruit.
Serve: Serve the cobbler immediately while warm, or allow it to cool and refrigerate until ready to enjoy. It pairs well with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!

Notes

The batter is designed to rise up during baking, enveloping the fruit and creating a deliciously caked-out dessert.
Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You may use frozen fruit if fresh is not available, but thaw and drain beforehand to prevent excess liquid.
Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar to suit your personal taste preference.
