🥘 Ingredients
For the topping, you will need:
Butter- You will need to use butter to get the richness in the topping just right. You can use salted or unsalted butter, depending on what you have on hand.
Sugars- Using both granulated sugar as well as brown sugar will help us to get a sweet cobbler with chewy edges and great depth of flavor.
All-purpose flour- This is necessary for the gluten structure.
Baking powder- Use baking powder as a leavening agent so that the cobbler topping can rise as it bakes.
Salt- This is a natural flavor enhancer. Salt will make the other flavors in this dish taste great.
Milk- Adds richness and helps to get a perfect consistency.
Ground cinnamon- For added warmth, you'll need a warm spice like cinnamon.
For the filling, you will need:
Peaches- Fresh peaches are needed for the filling. See notes below if using frozen.
Strawberries- You'll want to use fresh strawberries for the filling, but frozen is okay too. See the notes below about using frozen berries.
Granulated sugar- This will help to cut down on the acidic taste that often comes from fresh fruit.
All-purpose flour- To thicken the filling so that our cobbler isn't too runny.
Cinnamon- For added warmth and spice, add in some ground cinnamon.
Salt- This is a natural flavor enhancer and will help to make the other flavors in this recipe taste great.
Vanilla- Use vanilla extract as another flavor enhancer.

💭 FAQs

Yes, you can freeze the cobbler after it has been baked and cooled completely. To do this I recommend baking it in a disposable pan because it makes life a little easier. After it has been cooled, wrap well in foil and plastic wrap and then freeze for up to 3 months. Note that the topping may become soggy as it thaws.
It can sit out for several hours on the same day that it was made but after it has cooled down completely, you have about 2 hours at room temp before it should be stored in the fridge.
