Ingredients
Filling
- 1 pound strawberries, sliced
- 3 large peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 cup gluten free all-purpose baking flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking the cobbler.
- Combine filling ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, peeled and sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Mix them thoroughly and then pour this fruit mixture into a 9-inch baking dish or pie pan.
- Whisk egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and white sugar until well combined to form the base for the cobbler topping.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. This creates the batter for the cobbler topping.
- Incorporate butter: When the batter is almost combined, add the softened butter and use a spoon to gently mix it in until the mixture resembles a thick, crumbly batter.
- Spoon topping over filling: Carefully spoon large dollops of the batter over the fruit filling in the baking dish. The topping will not spread much during baking, so distribute it evenly and arrange it as desired for an even golden crust.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbly around the edges and the topping has turned a golden brown color.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches and fresh strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Make sure to soften the butter ahead of time for easier incorporation into the batter.
- Gluten-free flour blends vary—ensure you are using one suitable for baking to get the right texture.
- Letting the cobbler cool slightly before serving helps the topping set and makes it easier to serve.
- You can substitute vanilla ice cream with whipped cream or yogurt for variations in serving.
