You know you are in the heart of summer when big, fat juicy peaches are available at the grocery store and farmers market. Here in San Diego, my good friend, Karin, has peach tree that gives her oodles and oodles of peaches in the spring. So I already got a jump start making a homemade peach blueberry pie.

But I am not always in the mood (or have the patience) to assemble and make a pie from scratch. And that’s when I turn to crisps and cobblers. Since I have already shared my campfire Dutch oven peach crisp with almonds, today I am going to share with you another easy favorite: peach blueberry cobbler.

Why you have to make this recipe

What is a cobbler? Well, it is basically fruit baked with a fluffy biscuit-like dough on top. A crisp has a crunchier topping typically made with oats and nuts. This blueberry peach cobbler has a wonderful buttermilk biscuit-like topping.

Even better, the cobbler topping is stuffed with MORE blueberries, so it’s like you are biting into a blueberry cake along with the delicious peach filling underneath. Cobblers are super easy to make.

I call it a rustic dessert. It doesn’t have to look super fancy or require a lot of fuss. It is crazy delicious. Every time I make this cobbler, it disappears quickly afterwards.

You can dress it up for a dinner party with friends or serve it for your family. Serve it alone, with whipped cream or even top with vanilla ice cream.

Recipe tips and FAQs

For this cobbler, I use juicy fresh peaches. My mouth is usually salivating while I peel them so I usually snag a couple peach slices and pop them into my mouth while I work. Peaches are a stone fruit and peach skins do not always come off super easily. There are two ways you can peel a peach.

The first way is to blanch the peaches. Set up a pot of boiling water, add the whole peaches and let it sit in there for 10-20 seconds or until the peach skins start to crack. Use a slotted spoon and remove the peaches. Use a pairing knife to help slide and remove the peach skin off.

The second way to peel a peach does not require a pot of boiling, but it does require a serrated peeler, like this one. We don’t like to waste water here in Southern California (hello, drought?) so I like to use the serrated peeler. It’s tiny teeth easily grabs the fuzzy peach skin and removes it without much fuss.

Can I use frozen peaches for cobbler?

Remember to thaw the peaches before mixing them with the other ingredients. You will have an extra amount of juice after thawing out frozen peaches, so be sure to remove the extra juice and do NOT include it in the cobbler filling or you will end up with a runny cobbler. Not cool. Don’t toss that juice away! Slurp it away or even use it to make up some strawberry peach sangria!

How long does peach blueberry cobbler last

Ideally, a peach cobbler is served warm. You need the cobbler to cool a little bit so the juices will thicken back up. You can store a peach cobbler for a day or two on the counter, covered, sitting at room temperature. But, it iss always safer to store it in the refrigerator. It should last covered in the fridge for up to one week. You can reheat small portions of peach cobbler in the microwave if you enjoy it warm.
