Peach Filling:
- 5 peaches, cut into wedges
- 125 g (1 cup) fresh raspberries
- 75 g (1/2 cups) caster sugar
Cobbler Topping:
- 90 g (1/2 cups) cold butter, salted or unsalted
- 90 g (2/3 cups) caster sugar
- 140 g (1 cup) plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons milk, see notes
- 2 tablespoons flaked almonds
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C for a fan oven (170°C for a conventional oven).
- Prepare the Fruit: Cut the peaches into chunky slices and place them in a bowl. Add the raspberries and toss with the caster sugar. Transfer the fruit mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and set aside.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Using your fingers, rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together with a texture similar to soft cookie dough.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the cobbler topping over the fruit in the baking dish. Sprinkle with demerara sugar (optional) and the flaked almonds.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is juicy and bubbling around the edges and the cobbler topping is golden and fluffy.
Notes
- Peeling Peaches: It’s not necessary to peel the peaches as they are tender and the skin adds texture. However, if you prefer, you can peel them.
- Adjusting Milk: The dough should come together but not be too dry. If needed, add an extra splash of milk to achieve the right consistency.
- Serving Suggestions: This cobbler is delicious on its own, but it can be served with ice cream or custard for an extra treat.
