Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, washed, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter (melted)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Wash, pit, and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges. In a large bowl, gently toss the peaches with lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent until evenly coated. This mix will thicken during baking and infuse the peaches with warming flavors.
- Make the batter: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add sugar and mix. Then stir in the melted plant-based butter and plant-based milk gently until just combined to form a smooth batter that will bake into a light, golden crust.
- Assemble and bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and spread the peach filling evenly in the dish. Dollop the batter over the peaches carefully, spreading gently to cover most of the fruit without fully sealing it. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes to allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld. Serve warm for a comforting dessert or at room temperature for a delightful treat anytime.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum juiciness and natural sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir until just combined to keep the topping light and fluffy.
- Adjust sugar amounts based on peach sweetness for balanced flavor.
- Allow cobbler to rest after baking before serving to set the filling with the natural gelling agent.
- Use a glass baking dish to monitor browning and bubbling during baking.
