Cherry and Peach Cobbler
This Cherry and Peach cobbler bursts with juicy peaches and cherries in a soft, cake-like batter baked to golden perfection. Easy & delicious!
Equipment
- 9x13 inch ceramic baking dish or large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches thawed and drained, if frozen
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries thawed and drained, if frozen
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, divided
- 9 tablespoons (127g) unsalted butter
- 1½ cup (213g) all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1¼ cup (300ml) whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (2g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use about half as much by volume or the same weight
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches and cherries with 1/3 cup (67g) of granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to sit and macerate.
- Place the 9 tablespoons of butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the preheated oven and let it melt for about 10 minutes.
- While the butter is melting, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the rest of the sugar (2/3 cup (134g)).
- Add milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Carefully remove the hot baking dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter.
- Using a slotted spoon, layer the macerated peaches and cherries over the batter. Discard any remaining liquid in the bowl.
- Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the batter is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.

Notes
Cool Before Serving: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the juices thicken and the cobbler to set.
Optional - Serve with Ice Cream: Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Butter Appearance: If you see butter floating on top during the baking process, do not worry. It will reabsorb into the cobbler towards the end of baking. Baking Dish Alternative: A large cast-iron skillet can be used if you lack a traditional baking dish. Make Ahead? I don't typically recommend mixing the batter ahead, as that can affect its hydration and rise. This recipe was adapted from Preppy Kitchen
