Ingredients
Fruit Mixture
- 5 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and sliced if fresh (about 5 large peaches)
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Dough
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour or white whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Make the fruit mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peaches, blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients together lightly, then set aside. It’s okay if the mixture isn’t yet evenly combined, as you will stir again later.
- Prepare the cobbler dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well blended. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small peas. Pour in the buttermilk and mix with a fork just until the dough comes together.
- Assemble in the slow cooker: Lightly spray the bottom of the slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Crumble the cobbler dough evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker in small pieces.
- Add the fruit layer: Stir the fruit mixture again to ensure the ingredients are well combined, then spread it evenly over the cobbler dough base. Leave any excess juices behind in the bowl to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the cobbler: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or on low for 4 to 5 hours. The filling should be hot and bubbly when done.
- Rest and serve: Once cooked, allow the cobbler to rest in the slow cooker for 20 to 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with ice cream for added indulgence. Enjoy this comforting dessert!
Notes
- If using frozen fruit, there is no need to thaw it before using. The cooking time may extend slightly, so plan on using the longer end of the cooking time range provided.
- Using white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose adds a bit more fiber but maintains a tender texture.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the dough mixture.
- Make sure to spray the slow cooker well to prevent sticking, especially if using fresh fruit with more juice.
