Peach-Apricot Cobbler Recipe

Peach-apricot cobbler with homemade peach ice cream

Stone fruits are still in season so I wanted to take the opportunity to use them while I can. I made this to go along with my fresh homemade peach ice cream, which, if it could talk, it would tell the cobbler, “you complete me”. They are the perfect duo. I usually make apple cobblers, but I figured since peaches are in season, now was the time to make a peach cobbler. I had a lot of fun putting it together. I infused the fruit with a small dose of cinnamon and ginger to add some life to the cobbler, and it worked out better than I anticipated.

I used regular peaches, white peaches and apricots for this recipe.

Bring chopped fruit, spices, and sugar to a boil for 10 minutes

After peach-apricot compote is done, pour batter into baking pan, then spoon compote on top

Sprinkle with oatmeal and brown sugar, toss it in the oven for 35-40 minutes

Serve warm

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups fresh peaches, chopped (about 5-6 medium size peaches)
• 1/2 cup apricots, chopped (about 3)
• 1 cup organic evaporated cane sugar
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder (or regular)
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan over a medium-high heat, toss in peaches, apricots, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ginger. Once it begins to boil, keep boiling for 10 minutes (occasionally stirring). While the peaches are boiling, prepare the cobbler batter. Mix one cup flour with baking powder and sugar. Pour in one cup milk and 4 tablespoons butter, and mix until combined (it will probably be lumpy, but thats okay, it should be the consistency of pancake batter). Grease 8×8 baking pan with remainder melted butter. Pour in cobbler batter, then spoon peach-apricot over batter (the fruit will settle to the bottom during baking). In a small bowl, mix 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons oatmeal, and 3 tablespoons brown sugar together, then sprinkle evenly over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
