Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are the star here. If you can’t find fresh ones, frozen peaches work too—just make sure they’re thawed and drained. Canned peaches in light syrup can be used, but they’ll be sweeter, so reduce sugar slightly.
Raspberries: Fresh raspberries add that lovely tang. You can substitute with blackberries or blueberries if preferred. If using frozen, again, thaw and drain them before adding.
Sugar: I use granulated sugar for sweetness. If you want a healthier option, try coconut sugar or a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, adjusting the quantity as needed.
Butter: Unsalted butter gives richness. For a lighter version, use coconut oil or a vegan butter alternative. They work well and won’t compromise flavor!
How Do You Get That Perfectly Golden Topping?
Getting that golden brown topping is super important for the visual and texture appeal of your cobbler. To do this, ensure even mixing of the batter and follow these tips:
- Preheat your oven properly. A hot oven helps the batter rise quickly and brown nicely.
- A baking dish shouldn’t be too crowded with fruit; spoon it evenly over the batter.
- Check for doneness using a toothpick. It should come out clean from the batter part—this means it’s ready!
Let it cool a bit before serving. This helps set the cobbler and makes it easier to scoop. Now you’re ready to enjoy a delightful dessert!
Easy Homemade Raspberry Peach Cobbler
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Fruit Filling:
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4-5 medium peaches)
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
For Serving:
- Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful cobbler will take you about 15 minutes to prepare and around 40-45 minutes to bake, meaning you could have a warming dessert ready in about 1 hour total! Perfect for a cozy family night or a quicker treat for unexpected guests.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake!
2. Prepare the Fruit Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine your sliced peaches and fresh raspberries. Add in 1/2 cup of the sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Gently toss the mixture together, making sure the fruit is well-coated. Set aside to let those flavors meld.
3. Make the Cobbler Batter:
In another clean bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Next, pour in the melted butter and milk. Stir until just combined—don’t worry about lumps; it’s fine!
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, carefully spoon the fruit mixture over the top, ensuring an even spread. Don’t stir it in; the batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes, creating a lovely layered effect.
5. Bake It!
Pop your baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want the topping to turn golden brown and to check for doneness, stick a toothpick into the batter—it should come out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This helps it set up a little bit. Serve warm and indulge in the deliciousness! Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Enjoy your delicious homemade raspberry peach cobbler! 💕🍑
FAQ for Easy Homemade Raspberry Peach Cobbler

Yes, you can prepare the fruit filling the night before and store it in the fridge. Just mix the batter right before baking to ensure it stays fluffy. Bake it the day you plan to serve for the best results!
