Ingredients
- Nectarines
- 4, sliced
- Apricots
- 4, sliced
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup, divided
- Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup, cold and cubed
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced nectarines and apricots. Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Gently toss until the fruits are well coated and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly over the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a light and fluffy topping.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, covering the fruit as evenly as possible.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the cobbler topping is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- For added flavor, sprinkle some chopped nuts or oats over the cobbler topping before baking.
- Feel free to mix in other summer fruits like peaches or berries to create a fruit medley.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
