I love this recipe. I made it with fresh peaches. Topped with whipped cream. Your recipes are always delicious and simple. Thanks for sharing
I have made this and the recipe is fantastic. Add whipped cream or Ice cream when you serve it and you couldn’t have a better dessert.
If I’m using only peaches as my fruit, how many cups should I use? Should the peaches be diced or just sliced?
You’ll need 7 cups of fruit, no matter what mix you use (or just peaches). You can dice them or slice them – whichever you like. 🙂
If I use frozen fruit do I need to change the recipe accordingly?
You should be ok to use frozen fruit. It’s a good idea to thaw the berries and drain off some the excess liquid first. Then add another tablespoon or so of cornstarch so that the cobbler is not too liquid-y.
Where do I look for turbinado sugar?
Hi Cindy. You should be able to find turbinado sugar in the baking aisle of your grocery store. It might be next to the decorating ingredients, rather than right next to the sugar.
Meets all the requirements of a dessert.
1. Delicious
2. Easy
3. Fast
4. Adaptable
What exactly is turbinado sugar? How is it different than regular granulated or confectioners sugar?
Hi Heather. Turbinado sugar is a sugar from sugarcane that is only partially processed, leaving molasses in the sugar. It gives the sugar a light brown color and larger crystals than regular granulated sugar. I find it has a more caramel-y flavor than white sugar. Confectioner’s, or powdered sugar is granulated sugar that has been ground into a powder, and then usually mixed with a little cornstarch to keep it from clumping.
I made this cobbler & it was great with all the different berries. Very easy to make. I used GF flour & it came out great. Everyone loved this dessert! Wondered if you doubled this recipe, would you bake it in a 9 x 13 pan?
Hi Nancy, great that everyone loved your cobbler and good to know it works well with GF flour! When doubling the recipe you can bake it in a 9×13-inch pan or even one that is a little larger. You want to have enough room to dollop the cobbler topping over the berries.
Love the idea of mixed berry cobbler. Can you make this cobbler using pie crust on top of the filling? If so, would it affect the baking temperature or time?
Using pie crust would turn it into more of a bottomless crust pie instead of a cobbler. But you certainly can change it up! I would increase the temperature to 425°F and bake for about 30 minutes until the crust is browned and the filling bubbly. If the crust is getting too dark during the baking process, cover it with some aluminum foil.
I have made this recipe many times with a variety of berries. Marionberries, strawberries, blackberries,blueberries, and raspberries in just about any combination work. We get great fresh berries in Washington during the summer, so I freeze alot. So, even frozen berries work. This is by far the best cobbler I have made!
Excellent recipe as always. I made it exactly as recipe directed.
I LOVE this cobbler recipe. It fits into my two “musts” when baking: easy and delicious!
