Low-Sugar Peach Cobbler With blueberries
Melty pockets of jammy blueberries join fresh, bright local peaches in this biscuit-topped cobbler. You’d think there’s little room for improvement until you plop generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into that warm bed of tart-sweet fruit.
Ingredients
-
6 medium peaches, diced
-
1 cup blueberries
-
6½ tablespoons sugar, divided
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
-
1 cup flour
-
1½ teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
½ cup low-fat milk (we used 2%)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
In a large saucepan, combine peaches, blueberries, 6 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Toss to coat fruit. Over medium heat, bring to a boil. Cook until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to an 8-by-8 pan.
-
For the topping, combine the flour, ½ tablespoon sugar, baking powder and salt.
-
Work butter in using a fork or pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir until flour mixture is evenly moistened.
-
Drop by spoonfuls on top of the fruit mixture.
-
Bake until the top is golden brown and bubbly, about 20–25 minutes.
