Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh or frozen fruit/berries (such as peaches, apples, blueberries, or blackberries)
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.33 cups unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 0.5 cups heavy cream (plus more for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fruit or berries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.

Step 3

Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream until just combined to form a soft dough.

Step 7

Drop dollops of the dough over the fruit filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.

Step 8

Brush the dough lightly with additional heavy cream and sprinkle with a little extra sugar for a golden, crunchy top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
