Now, let’s take a closer look at what makes this cobbler so delightful.

Ingredients Notes

The beauty of this peach and raspberry cobbler lies in its fresh, simple ingredients. Each one brings its own special touch to the final dish.

The peaches are the star of the show. I always opt for fresh, ripe peaches during the summer months. Their natural sweetness and juiciness create the perfect base for the cobbler. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can substitute frozen or canned peaches—just be sure to drain them well to avoid excess moisture.

Raspberries add a lovely tartness that perfectly balances the sweetness of the peaches. Their vibrant red color also gives the cobbler a beautiful pop of color. Fresh raspberries work best, but frozen raspberries can be used in a pinch. If using frozen, don't thaw them before mixing, as this can make the filling too watery.

The sugar serves a dual purpose. It enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit and helps create that irresistible caramelized topping. I like to use a combination of granulated sugar for the filling and a light sprinkle on top for extra crunch.

For the topping, a simple mixture of all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, milk, and melted butter creates a tender, biscuit-like crust. The melted butter adds richness, while the baking powder gives the topping a light, airy texture.

You’ll only need basic kitchen tools for this recipe—a mixing bowl, a spoon, and a baking dish. No electric mixer or special gadgets required, making this dessert as easy to clean up as it is to prepare.

How To Make This Easy Peach And Raspberry Cobbler

Creating this peach and raspberry cobbler is delightfully simple. Let me guide you through each step.

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven heats, prepare your fruit. Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pits. Combine the peach slices and raspberries in a large mixing bowl, gently tossing them with sugar and a bit of cornstarch. The cornstarch will help thicken the fruit juices as the cobbler bakes.

Next, prepare the batter for the topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the milk until just combined, and then gently fold in the melted butter. The batter will be smooth and slightly thick.

Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the fruit mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly to the edges. Carefully spoon the batter over the fruit, spreading it out as much as possible. It’s okay if some fruit peeks through—this adds to the rustic charm of the finished cobbler.

Sprinkle a light layer of granulated sugar over the top to create a delicately crisp crust as it bakes. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The topping should be golden brown, and the fruit juices should be bubbling up around the edges.

Once done, allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This rest time helps the filling set slightly, making it easier to scoop.

From start to finish, you’re looking at about 15 minutes of prep time and 40 minutes of baking—a perfect dessert that doesn’t keep you tied to the kitchen.

Storage Options

If you happen to have leftovers (which doesn’t happen often in my house), this cobbler stores wonderfully.

For short-term storage, allow the cobbler to cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or transferring it to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

If you’d like to store it longer, you can freeze the cobbler. Place portions in freezer-safe containers, ensuring they’re tightly sealed. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Reheating is simple. Warm individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or reheat larger amounts in a 325°F oven for 10-15 minutes until heated through. A quick warm-up brings back that fresh-baked taste and texture.

Variations and Substitutions

One of my favorite things about this cobbler is how adaptable it is to what you have on hand.

You can easily swap out the peaches for other stone fruits like nectarines, apricots, or plums. Each adds its own unique flavor while still pairing beautifully with raspberries.

If raspberries aren’t available or you prefer a different berry, try substituting with blackberries, blueberries, or even chopped strawberries. The recipe remains just as delicious, with each berry offering a slight twist.

For a richer topping, you can substitute heavy cream for the milk in the batter. This makes the biscuit layer even more tender and decadent.

If you're watching your sugar intake, consider using a sugar substitute like Stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Just be mindful of the conversion ratios, as these substitutes are often much sweeter than regular sugar.

For a gluten-free version, simply replace the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free baking blend. Look for one that includes xanthan gum to help mimic the texture of traditional flour.

Don’t be afraid to get creative and make this cobbler your own. Whether you stick to the original recipe or try one of these variations, you’ll end up with a delightful dessert that’s sure to impress.
