Plum Cobbler Recipe
Description
This Plum Cobbler recipe layers a spiced, sweet plum filling beneath a biscuit-like topping. The fruit mixture includes quartered plums combined with granulated sugar, a bit of flour to thicken juices, and vanilla for aroma. The topping blends flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter worked into a crumbly dough, mixed with milk to form a soft batter. Small pieces of this dough are spread across the plums before baking.
Baked at 350°F, the cobbler cooks until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, while the plums soften to a juicy consistency. The contrast between the bubbling fruit beneath and the tender topping creates a classic cobbler texture and flavor.
This dessert is variable by plum variety; yellow plums were used in the example, but any plums suit this method. Letting the cobbler rest before serving helps the juices settle. It’s suitable for serving as a cozy dessert, enjoyed warm, potentially with cream or ice cream.
Ingredients
- 8 cups plum see notes, quartered
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
Cobbler Topping
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 8 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup milk
- egg to brush on the cobbler, whisked egg white, coarse sugar
- sugar to brush on the cobbler, whisked egg white, coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter. In a large bowl, mix the plums, sugar, flour, and vanilla and then transfer them to the baking dish.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and work it into the flour with your fingertips or a pastry cutter until it is dry and crumbly. Add the milk and mix just until it forms a dough.
- Flatten out small handfuls of the dough and arrange them on top of the plums. If you'd like, brush a little whisked egg white on top of the cobbler and sprinkle it with coarse sugar.
- Bake the plum cobbler for 45-55 minutes, until the cobbler topping is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the topping comes out clean. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving it.
Notes
- Any plum variety can be used, though yellow plums were used in this version.
