Blackberry - Peach Cobbler

Our church family is amazing at sharing of their bounty. This summer we've had all kinds of fruits and vegetables brought in for sharing, and it's definitely been a blessing to our hearts ... and our stomachs!

Last week it was tiny peaches, and they were sweeter and juicier than any regular-sized peach I've ever had. Since I had a container of fresh-picked blackberries in the refrigerator, I knew I had to make a cobbler with them.

What I love about this recipe is that you don't have to peel anything, just combine the dry ingredients and toss the fruit in. In just a few steps you'll have a bright, fresh, warm dessert that only needs ice cream to make it perfect.

Filling Ingredients:

10 small peaches

4 cups blackberries

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

3 Tbsp lemon juice

3 Tbsp flour

2 Tbsp cinnamon

Topping Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup water

2 Tbsp cinnamon

2 Tbsp sugar

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Remove the pits and cut each peach into eight pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the remaining filling toppings to the bowl and stir to combine and coat the fruit.

4. In a separate bowl for the topping, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.

5. Cut the butter into small chunks and add to topping bowl. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter until a crumbly mixture forms.

6. Drop topping onto the fruit mixture by the spoonful, until the top is completely covered. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon and sugar over the top.

7. Bake at 375 degrees for 50-55 minutes, until the top is browned. Serve immediately with ice cream and toppings.
