Ingredients
Base and Batter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1¼ cup golden brown sugar, divided
- ¾ cup Cup4Cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup low-fat or whole milk
Fruit Topping
- 3 cups fresh peaches (about 1¼ pounds), washed and dried, skin on, cut into ½ inch slices
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and dried
Instructions
- Set the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare the pan: Pour the melted butter into an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan, spreading it evenly and setting it aside for the batter.
- Make the batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup of the brown sugar with the gluten-free flour, baking powder, spices (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves), and salt. Mix well. Add the milk and stir until just combined, creating a smooth batter. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the pan, spreading gently without mixing the butter and batter together.
- Assemble the cobbler: Evenly arrange the sliced peaches and fresh blueberries on top of the batter, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of brown sugar evenly over the fruit layer to add a caramelized sweetness.
- Bake: Place the baking pan on a larger baking sheet to catch any overflow. Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. Begin checking at 1 hour to prevent overbaking.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe peaches and blueberries for best flavor and juiciness.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option, though it may slightly change the texture.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be very hot and bubbling when fresh from the oven.
- This cobbler is best enjoyed within two days and can be stored refrigerated and reheated gently.
- For a deeper caramel flavor, consider browning the butter slightly before pouring into the pan.
