Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler

For the best summer dessert, we love this Old-Fashioed Peach and Blueberry Cobbler made with fresh peaches and blueberries, under a layer of buttery cobbler topping. Pour the boiling water over the top and bake, for this old-fashioned cobbler recipe from my mom!

I love a good summer cobbler. The kind that comes to the table warm, fresh out of the oven, and served with vanilla ice cream. Everyone loves an old-fashioned peach and blueberry cobbler, and this one is perfect to celebrate the 4th of July, summer birthdays, or for an evening barbecue.

Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler

This Peach Blueberry Cobbler is truly a scrumptious treat! If you’re taking it to a party, you might want take it unbaked (skip the last step of pouring the boiling water over the mixture), and then do that step right before putting in the oven. Blueberries and peaches go so well together!

Why I love this recipe

• It’s a quintessential summer cobbler!
• If you’re in a pinch, you can use frozen peaches and blueberries.
• This cobbler has the best crust – and everyone loves it.

Gather these ingredients:

Make ahead, or pop in the oven an hour before guests arrive, and serve a hot Peach Blueberry Cobbler that everyone loves. Here are the ingredients you will need:

• Large peaches
• Fresh blueberries (or frozen)
• Lemon
• Butter
• Milk
• Sugar
• Flour
• Cornstarch
• Salt
• Baking powder
• Milk
• Vanilla
• Almond extract

How do you make Old-Fashioned Peach and Blueberry Cobbler?

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. On the bottom, lay the fresh peaches and blueberries. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon over the berries.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour over the fruit.
4. In the same bowl, add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 Tbsp cornstarch. Mix together and sprinkle on top of the cobbler mixture.
5. Over the entire cobbler, pour 2 cups of boiling water.
6. Bake for 1 hour. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips and substitutions:

• Optional to use frozen peaches or blueberries. The cobbler may be a tiny bit juicier, but it will be amazing!
• Oh, and the secret ingredient? Almond extract! Of course you can make this recipe without it, but for my favorite taste, I love the almond spin.
• I was so happy to find peaches at Costco. Let them sit on the counter for a couple of days, and then they will be perfect for this juicy cobbler.
• Do not skimp on the 2 cups of boiling water. It’s magical – it works and makes the best cobbler!
• QUICK TIIP: Place a sheet pan under the baking dish while in the oven. It tends to bubble over a bit during baking. No one wants a baked on blueberry mess to clean up!
• If you love the combo of peaches and blueberries, then you might also love this Peach Caprese Bites Appetizer! So easy to make!

How do you serve a warm cobbler?

Of course we love a good old-fashioned cobbler recipe, and this is a fruit cobbler recipe super easy for summer entertaining. We love it served warm with fresh whipped cream or Vanilla Ice Cream. We love it leftover for breakfast the next morning (don’t judge us – ha). And it’s just awesome to bring to a party!
