    Choosing fruit for your cobbler:

    This fruit cobbler recipe works well with most any tree fruit or berry that works in baking. You'll just want to avoid those like pomegranates that don't have enough body for baking. Here are some favorites and how to prep them for fruit cobbler:

    • Stone fruit like peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots: remove pit + peel, slice
    • Berries: rinse + dry, slice if large
    • Cherries: rinse + pit
    • Pears: core, peel + slice
    • Apples: core, peel + thinly slice, or do a quick saute if cutting wedges
    • Persimmon: choose firm fruit, peel + slice

    Feel free to mix up your fruit!

    My friend Becky does a Pear Berry Cobbler (with a more advanced topping) that's truly delicious, and that mix is perfect on this recipe too. Other great mixtures are: mixed berry, blueberry + peach, nectarine + raspberry, or apricot + cherry.

    If you'd like to add rhubarb, it's best as part of a pair with strawberries, apricot, raspberry or peach. Just clean it and cut it into ½ inch chunks.

    Cobbler for National Ice Cream day? But of course!

    DYK National Ice Cream Day is Juy 20th? That seems reasonable. Far more reasonable than most of the other food holidays - National Roast Pheasant Day is October 15th, and Crab Newburg Day is September 25th.

    I'll wait here while you make those notes in your calendar.

    We make cobbler all summer long, since we live in California's Central Valley were much of the nation's stone fruit grows.

    I wanted to switch it up for Ice Cream Day - you've already got recipes for Dairy Free Chocolate, Chai Spice and Coconut Milk Chocolate Chip ice cream, what else could you need? Plus, the people from Personal Creations sent me this ridiculously cute pie plate with my name on it, so I wanted to use it. Cobbler it is - what goes better with ice cream?

    This easy fruit cobbler recipe is straight from my mom.

    So, I'm sharing my version of Saint Joanie's (she my mom, in case you're new here) Easy Fruit Cobbler. It works with berries and other fruit, but I like it best with peaches, and it's my kitchen, so peach it is.

    Making your fruit cobbler gluten-free:

    This fruit cobbler recipe called for conventional AP flour before I went gluten-free. You can still use AP flour and it will come out perfectly. To make the fruit cobbler gluten-free, use a GF all purpose blend like King Arthur Measure for Measure or Pamela’s Gluten-Free Artisan Blend blend, which both make light, fluffy gluten-free batter. If you're making your own blend, add gum free baking binder instead of xanthan or guar gum to get great texture.

    If you make this cobbler (and you should) - share a photo with me on Instagram @gfreefoodie and use #gfreefoodie - I may send you a little gift, and I'd love to see what y'all create!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • ½ cup butter one stick
    • ⅔ cup Gluten Free Flour Blend cup for cup style   - or conventional flour if you aren't gluten-free
    • ⅔ cup sugar or coconut sugar
    • ⅔ cup milk dairy or coconut
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom optional (but I think you should) or cinnamon
    • 3 ½ cups fresh fruit such as peaches sliced and skinned (or berries or apricots or plums or whatever you like) see note for apples

    Instructions
     

    • Heat oven to 325 degrees F (165 C)
      Place the butter in the bottom of a 10 inch (25 cm) round, 11x7 or 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking dish, and pop it in the oven so the butter can melt into liquid gold.
    • Mix the flour, sugar, milk, cardamom and baking powder together in a medium bowl while you're waiting for the butter to melt. When the butter is liquefied, carefully pull the dish out of the oven and pour the fruit on top of the butter.
      Then pour the batter over the fruit evenly, and use a spoon to stir it slightly so some of the butter is incorporated (extra butter around the edges is encouraged) and the fruit is mostly coated.  This is not a perfect process, and it's not meant to be: just get everything kinda mixed up in the dish and sort of smooth, and you're good to go.
    • Place the cobbler into the oven for 45-50 minutes (you want a golden top and bubbly edges).
    • Let the fruit cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before you top it with ice cream and eat it all up.

    Notes

    *To make apple cobbler, slice the fruit very thin, or saute sliced apples in butter with a pinch of salt for 3-5 minutes, while the butter is melting in the oven.
     
    Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, or on its own.
