Recipes Sep 2, 2024

A few things to note with this cobbler recipe...you can use blueberries, peaches or cherries. I actually have never used any fruit other than peaches. We always made this in August or early September when peaches are in season and delicious. I am confident that using cherries or blueberries would also be amazing. Give it a go. This is not only the best cobbler but also the easiest in my opinion. It is simple, classic and scrumptious. Especially out of the oven with some ice cream or heavy cream. I have noticed that it is still great the next day at room temperature. It just never stops.

The Fruit

  • 4 cups of fresh, chopped and peeled peaches. When peaches are ripe, the skin should just easily come off using your fingers. If some skin is still on, it is fine. You can also use blueberries or cherries. I usually use peaches.
  • 2 tablespoons Bisquick
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (maybe a sprinkle more if you are a major cinnamon lover.)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

The Short Pie/Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup Bsiquick
  • 1/4 cup (half of one stick) softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons boiling water
  • Some granulated sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling
  • Vanilla ice cream or heavy whipping cream when serving and eating

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Chop the fruit if needed. Once the fruit is ready, mix all 6 ingredients together. Stir until everything is combined and coated. Put off to the side and start the cobbler.
  3. For the cobbler, mix all 3 ingredients together in a bowl. A soft dough will form.
  4. Grease an oval casserole dish or a 13 x 9 pan. You can also use two 8x8 pans.
  5. Pour the fruit into the dish and spread it to the edges. This fruit filling will have a lot of liquid which is normal. It is actually one of the best parts to take the hot liquid and pour it over the biscuit topping when you are serving.
  6. For assembling the biscuit topping...take the dough and divide into patties to cover the fruit. I usually get about 5 and I try to make them on the larger side to cover as much of the fruit as possible. Some of the fruit will show and that is totally fine.
  7. The final step, take some sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the patties. Put into the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Once the liquid is bubbling and the topping is browned, it is ready to be removed.
  9. Let it cool for a little bit so it isn't scorching but as soon as it won't burn your tongue, scoop some ice cream or pour some heavy cream on top and enjoy. Eat some for breakfast the next day too.
