Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 4 cups canned or fresh sliced peaches with juice
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen) 
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup butter, cold

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish

Step 2: Add the Fruit

Pour the peaches (with juice) into the dish. Scatter the blueberries evenly on top.

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Topping

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Step 4: Assemble

Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the fruit.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving—the filling thickens as it rests.

Serving Suggestions

  • Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream for extra sweetness. 
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking for a spiced twist.

Expert Tips

  • Fresh fruit option: If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then toss with 2–3 tablespoons of sugar before baking.
