👩🏻🍳 Here's how to make it
Peach and Raspberry Cobbler recipe step-by-step
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C for a fan oven (170°C for a conventional oven).
- Prepare the Fruit: Cut the peaches into chunky slices and place them in a bowl. Add the raspberries and toss with the caster sugar. Transfer the fruit mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and set aside.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Using your fingers, rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together with a texture similar to soft cookie dough.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the cobbler topping over the fruit in the baking dish. Sprinkle with demerara sugar (optional) and the flaked almonds.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is juicy and bubbling around the edges and the cobbler topping is golden and fluffy.
📖 Variations
- Peaches: Use nectarines or apricots as a substitute.
- Raspberries: Replace with blackberries or blueberries for a different berry flavour.
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of plain flour.
- Vegan: Replace butter with a plant-based alternative and use almond milk.

I just want to check and be sure the only liquid in the topping is 2 teaspoons of milk? I don’t understand how that becomes a dough? Thanks!
Deborah Rainford
It's not a large topping recipe. Once the butter is cut in properly you shouldn't need much milk. But it does specifically say in the recipe notes that you can add more to get the right texture. The dough shouldn't be wet or stick. More like a scone texture. Let me know how it goes. 🙂

I added an egg to the topping recipe and cooked for 180 for 40 minutes….turned out absolutely lovely! And I’m not a baker at all. Thanks.
