Ingredients

• 6 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as peaches, berries, cherries, and plums)
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.33 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed fresh fruit, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the fruit evenly. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add this liquid to the dry mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish. The dough will spread as it bakes, so some gaps are fine.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
