Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh mixed fruit (e.g., peaches, blackberries, raspberries, or apples)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the mixed fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the fruit mixture, leaving some gaps to allow the fruit to bubble through.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar, if desired, for added texture and sweetness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
