Cobblers are always a hit during the summer, and it’s easy to see why. Imagine warm, bubbling fruit with a buttery biscuit-like topping—it’s a winning combination. To celebrate summer, we’ve brought together sweet, juicy peaches and blueberries in this delightful fruit cobbler. Whether it’s the perfect finish to your cookout or the star of a summer potluck, this dessert will make you the hero of any gathering. Here’s all you need to know to whip up this crowd-pleasing treat:
To peel or not to peel?
When it comes to the peaches, the choice is yours—peel them or leave the skin on. We prefer keeping the skin for added texture and to retain those juicy peach flavors. But if you prefer them peeled, go ahead!
Can I use frozen fruit?
Absolutely! If fresh peaches or blueberries aren’t available, frozen fruit works just fine. Just remember to let the fruit thaw before using it in the recipe.
Serving suggestions.
Is cobbler really complete without a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? We think not! Add a generous scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon to elevate this dessert, or enjoy it plain for a simpler treat.
