Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries and sliced peaches. There is no need to thaw frozen fruit before use.
  2. Add Flavorings: Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the fruit. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is well coated and evenly mixed.
  3. Transfer to Crockpot: Pour the fruit mixture into the bottom of your crockpot, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform base for the cobbler.
  4. Make Topping Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and baking powder. Stir thoroughly to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
  5. Add Topping Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter and milk, and optionally add almond extract. Mix until just combined; some lumps in the batter are okay for a tender topping.
  6. Top the Fruit: Spoon the prepared topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the crockpot, covering the fruit completely to form the cobbler’s crust.
  7. Cook the Cobbler: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 4 to 6 hours. Begin checking around 4 hours to monitor doneness and prevent overcooking.
  8. Optional Thickening: If desired, remove the lid during the last hour of cooking to allow the topping to thicken and brown slightly for a firmer crust.
  9. Check for Doneness: The cobbler is done when the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Use a toothpick inserted into the topping; it should come out clean.
  10. Serve: Scoop out portions of the cobbler, ensuring each serving contains both fruit and topping for a balanced bite.
  11. Garnish: Serve warm in bowls, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
  12. Final Touch: For extra flavor, sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle caramel sauce before serving to enhance the dessert.

Notes

  • Frozen fruit can be used directly without thawing which helps retain texture.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on crockpot brand and size.
  • Serving with ice cream or whipped cream adds a creamy contrast to the warm cobbler.
  • Removing the lid during the last hour helps achieve a firmer topping but is optional.
  • Adding almond extract is optional but adds a lovely depth of flavor to the topping.
  • Use a large crockpot (at least 4-6 quarts) to ensure even cooking without overflow.
