Ok, so, being in South Carolina for July we are completely spoiled by the peaches. We have great peaches in Pennsylvania too, but the bambinos swear that the South Carolina peaches are the best. This recipe, though, works great with whatever peaches you can get (over the years I’ve made this in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina! — always delicious!).
You’re going to have to bear with me, though, because I’ve never written this recipe down or attempted to quantify — in any way — the ingredients. We just made this at the beach house this week but I forgot to write down the amounts. Just wing it and you’ll be fine!
Peach Blueberry Cobbler
1. Preheat oven to 375. While the oven is heating up, have your kitchen assistants peel and cut up a bunch of peaches. 😉 When we made this the other day we used 6 big peaches. But use however many you’d like, to serve whatever size crowd you’re cooking for. I’d estimate about one peach per (quite large) serving. Cut up the peaches into bite-sized chunks and place in bottom of a baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix together the following (I’m totally estimating amounts here, so just do your best and adjust to your taste! and, again, this was for six peaches and you’ll need to adjust to however much you’re making) — about 1.5 cups oats; 2-3 heaping tablespoons of flour; about 1/4 cup brown sugar; about 1 tsp salt. Melt 1/2 stick butter and then mix the melted butter in. Carefully fold in about 1 pint of fresh blueberries.
3. Dump the mixture on top of the peaches to create a second layer.
4. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is browned and crisped and the peaches are bubbling.
5. Serve with vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream! Yummo!!!!!
Your recipe looks so yummy, especially paired with the ice cream! Your recipe reminds me of what we call a crisp rather than a cobbler. ( but maybe that’s a Southern thing?)
If you ever want to try THE best Southern style peach cobbler with those delicious peaches, here is my mama’s favorite recipe. We all grew up eating it and loving it. So soo yummy!!
8 fresh peaches – peeled, pitted and sliced into thin wedges
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
For Cobbler:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/2 cup boiling water
FOR SPRINKLING on top:
3 tablespoons white sugar
Preheat oven to 400°
In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar. Set your baking dish on a baking sheet (this cobbler can drip into the oven otherwise). Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!!
Looks yummy!! I made a Peach and Blueberry Crumble a few weeks ago – it was delish! Here’s the recipe: http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/blueberry-peach-crumble/
