Ingredients
Scale
Cobbler Topping
- 2 1/4 cups spoon and level (9 1/2 ounces) gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup (1 5/8 ounces) gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/3 cup (2 3/8 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup (8 1/2 ounces) buttermilk (preferably full-fat)
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream, for brushing
Peach Filling
- 10 yellow peaches
- 3/4 cup (3 3/8 ounces) cornstarch
- 2/3 cup (4 5/8 ounces) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (5 ounces) brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Cobbler Topping
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease a 12" oven-safe skillet with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well-combined. Add the butter and cut in with a pastry blender until the chunks are pea-sized and well-coated in the flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and fold in gently, just until the mixture comes together. If needed, use hands to lightly press mixture into a ball. Transfer to refrigerator to chill while prepping filling.
Peach Filling
- Place peaches directly into skillet OR in a separate large bowl. Sprinkle cornstarch, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg on top. Use a spatula to gently toss together until peaches are evenly coated in the mixture, with no dry streaks remaining. If done in a separate bowl, transfer peach mixture to skillet in an even layer.
Assembling and Baking:
- Use a spoon or cookie/ice cream scoop to dollop cobbler dough over the peaches, covering the majority of the surface area. Brush dough with heavy cream before baking.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until cobbler is golden-brown and juices are bubbling. Allow to cool briefly before serving.
- Serve warm, with whipped cream or ice cream.
