Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (natural)
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Sourdough Cobbler Crust

1 cup sourdough starter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter (plant-based), cut into small pieces

Instructions

Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches. In a mixing bowl, toss the peaches with brown sugar (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), lemon juice (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Gently mix to combine, allowing the filling to thicken during baking.
Make the Sourdough Cobbler Crust: In a separate bowl, combine the sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar (natural). Add the chilled unsalted butter (plant-based) and mix until coarse crumbs form, with visible pockets of butter for a flaky texture. Press half of the mixture into the base of the baking dish to form the crust.
Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the prepared peach filling evenly over the pressed dough base. Crumble the remaining sourdough dough mixture evenly on top of the filling to form a crumbly topping.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. Let the cobbler cool slightly to allow the natural gelling agent to set, ensuring a luscious consistency.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for optimal natural sweetness and texture.
Keep the plant-based butter chilled to create a flaky crust.
Mix the dough only until just combined to avoid toughness.
Taste and adjust sugar (natural) based on the notes of the peaches used.
Allow the cobbler to rest 15-20 minutes after baking for best filling consistency.
