Peach cobbler is a popular southern dessert. My Raspberry Peach Cobbler is loaded with sweet peaches and tart raspberries then topped with a sweet, buttery cake-like topping.
My husband’s not a big fan of biscuit type toppings on cobblers. So I searched for a recipe that had a more cake-like top I could pair with my sweet peaches.
I found this highly rated Paula Dean recipe on the Food Network with a cake-like topping. Now my husband raves about it too.
Since the recipe starts with fresh peaches, first check out my tutorial on how to slice peaches. Fresh peaches are easy to slice if you know a few tricks to make it easier.
Once you have the peaches sliced, you’re going to cook them briefly with sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to thicken the luscious peach juices.
Baking Tip: Whisking the sugar and cornstarch together before adding it to the peaches helps keep the cornstarch from clumping together and not dissolving quickly.
Once you’ve cooked the peaches and the juices have thickened, you’ll mix in the raspberries. Then, you’ll set the fruit aside and make the cobbler part of the recipe.
I made several changes to the original cobbler part of the recipe, including reducing the butter and sugar. My mom always made peach raspberry jam, so I added raspberries, to add a little tartness to the sweet peach filling.
My final change was to top the cobbler with some turbinado sugar. It gives the top a prettier color and adds just a little bit of crunch. If you don’t have it at home, you could sprinkle on a little bit of regular granulated sugar.
Of course, I had to serve it ala mode. I love the creamy ice cream melting into the hot fruit. So good! Definitely give this recipe a try with the beautiful, juicy peaches now at the market.
