Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cold butter (plant-based), cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Start by peeling and slicing fresh peaches into even-sized pieces. Toss them with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent to thicken. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to meld the flavors and release juicy goodness.
- Make the Biscuit Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in cold butter (plant-based) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender topping.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach filling into a greased baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps for the peaches to bubble through during baking.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the cobbler in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and fragrant.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly to thicken before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with plant-based vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of coconut cream.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the juiciest and most flavorful cobbler.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep the topping crumbly and tender.
- Allow the peach filling to rest and macerate for deeper flavor infusion.
- Check for doneness starting at 40 minutes to prevent overbaking.
- Adjust warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or cloves to your taste.
