Ingredients
- 3 cups, sliced fresh peaches
- 3 cups, peeled and diced apples
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 tbsp, melted unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup, plus extra for drizzle caramel sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 cups sliced fresh peaches, 3 cups peeled and diced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 2 tbsp cornstarch. Toss gently until fruit is evenly coated and set aside to macerate.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir in 3/4 cup milk and 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter until a thick batter forms.
- Step 3: Pour the fruit mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Dollop the biscuit batter over the fruit, spreading gently with a spatula to cover most of the surface.
- Step 4: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling around the edges. Remove from oven and drizzle 1/3 cup caramel sauce over the warm cobbler before serving.
