Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 Tablespoon of butter. Add sugar, sliced peeled nectarines, and cornstarch. Stir and cook for about 7-8 minutes or until the juices start to thicken. Stir in vanilla extract. Transfer to a 2 to 2 1/2 qt baking dish.
Make the Cobbler Topping: In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in 12 Tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) of butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender, a fork, or your hands until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in buttermilk or heavy cream and mix until the dough comes together.
Drop the cobbler topping by tablespoons over the nectarines. There may be spaces between but the cobbler topping will puff up as it bakes.
Generously sprinkle with sparkling or granulated sugar. Bake for about 35-42 minutes or until it becomes a light golden color and the fruit is bubbling
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.

Notes

Absolutely! Peaches can be used as a perfect substitute for nectarines in a homemade nectarine cobbler. Both fruits have similar textures and flavors, making them interchangeable in most recipes.
Can I use frozen nectarines or peaches in this recipe?
If using frozen nectarines, thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid to avoid a watery filling or cook in a skillet until much of the liquid is cooked off.
