Blueberry-Peach Cobbler with Ice Cream

Summer’s almost here which means two of my favorite Summer fruits are coming into season. Which two? Blueberries and peaches. This recipe for Blueberry-Peach Cobbler combines both to create an amazing dessert.

It cooks to perfection in an iron skillet, but a baking dish will do just as well. The best part is that it’s one of the easiest desserts you can possibly make.

Ingredients:

• 2 fresh peaches, cut up into chunks
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 stick of butter


Blueberry-Peach Fruit Filling

• 2 TBSP brown sugar
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Heat the butter in a 10- or 12-inch skillet.
3. Add blueberries, peaches and brown sugar. Cook, stirring gently, until berries and peaches start to soften.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and white sugar.
5. Add milk and combine to create a batter.
6. Spoon batter across fruit mixture evenly. You can drag a spoon through the mixture to create some blue streaks to give it a better look if you want.

7. Bake for 20-22 minutes until fruit is bubbling and top is golden and crisp.
8. Let cool slightly, serve and top with whipped cream or ice cream.

I topped mine with some Blue Bell Vanilla Bean ice cream and it was delicious. I’m sure whipped cream is just as great.

If you need to use a baking dish, just put the cooked fruit on the bottom then top with the batter. I would highly recommend using a skillet to bake it in though.
