Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Fruit

In a large bowl, combine peaches, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Toss gently to coat.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter and milk until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble

Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Pour fruit mixture evenly into the dish. Dollop cobbler batter on top (it will spread as it bakes).

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve

Let cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips for Success

Don’t overmix the batter — it should be slightly thick.

Make it year-round: Use frozen fruit (no need to thaw).
