Gluten Free Peach Cobbler Recipe
Description
This recipe layers sliced peaches coated with coconut sugar, spices, and lemon juice in a baking dish, starting with cooking the filling briefly so the peaches soften slightly. The cobbler topping is composed of a gluten-free flour blend mixed with coconut sugar and butter cut into crumbs, combined with milk to form a batter that is dolloped over the peach layer before baking.
The baking process melds the sweetened peaches and the golden topping, producing a balance of juicy fruit and slightly crumbly, tender texture. The use of coconut sugar imparts a gentle caramel-like note and can affect the topping color.
Peach cobbler is suitable for serving warm as a dessert with or without accompaniments like ice cream. The recipe accommodates flexibility in sugar use by substituting regular white sugar or adjusting amounts for sweetness preferences.
Leftover cobbler stores well refrigerated for several days and can be frozen after baking for longer preservation. Use airtight, freezer-safe containers and thaw before reheating gently to maintain texture.
Ingredients
Peach Filling:
- 2 ½ - 3 lbs. peach about 7-8 medium-sized
- ½ cup coconut sugar or regular white sugar*
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch or tapioca starch
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- ½ tsp. cinnamon
- ¼ tsp. nutmeg
- Pinch salt
Cobbler Topping:
- 6 Tbsp. butter room temperature, cut into cubes
- 1 ½ cups flour gluten-free 1-to-1 blend
- ⅔ cup coconut sugar or regular white sugar*
- 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
- ⅓ tsp. salt
- ⅓ cup milk cashew or almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F.
Peach Filling:
- Peel peaches by boiling and then cut into ¼-½ inch slices.
- Combine peach filling ingredients in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until peaches start to soften.
- Spread peaches out evenly into the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray
- Bake peaches in preheated oven for 10 minutes while preparing the topping.
Cobbler Topping:
- Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to combine it with the dry ingredients until a coarse crumb forms.
- Pour in milk and mix until just combined and the batter starts to stick together.
- Grab 2-3 tablespoons of the topping at a time and press together lightly. Place on top of the peaches. Repeat until all topping is spread across the peaches. It’s OK if you have some gaps between the topping.
- Optional: Whisk together 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of milk. Using a pastry brush, brush a light layer of this egg wash onto the topping and sprinkle with additional sugar.
- Bake peach cobbler in oven for 30-40 minutes or until topping is lightly golden.
Notes
- Combining coconut sugar and white sugar lightens the topping color; all coconut sugar may darken the cobbler.
- Add milk in small increments if topping batter is too dry and does not clump together well.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cobbler in airtight containers for up to 3 months; thaw before reheating.
