There’s nothing quite like the sweet aroma of a homemade cobbler wafting through your home. The combination of a perfectly flaky crust and a medley of fresh fruits like peaches, apples, and strawberries can make any day feel like a special occasion. Making a cobbler from scratch may seem daunting, but with the right recipe and a little patience, you can create a dessert that’s sure to impress. Let’s dive into the process of making a delicious homemade cobbler with a perfectly flaky crust and a fresh fruit medley.
Ingredients
Before we start, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients. For the fruit filling, you will need:
- 1 cup of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of fresh apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
For the crust, you will need:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 4 to 6 tablespoons of ice water
Preparing the Fruit Filling
Start by combining the peaches, apples, strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss until the fruit is well coated and set aside to let the flavors meld together.
Making the Crust
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Assembling and Baking the Cobbler
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one half of the dough to fit the bottom of your glass baking dish. Pour the fruit filling over the crust, spreading it out evenly. Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the fruit filling, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling. Let the cobbler cool before serving.
And there you have it – a delicious homemade cobbler with a perfectly flaky crust and a fresh fruit medley. Enjoy!
