Blueberry Peach Cobbler

When I think of comfort foods, I think of winter dishes like mashed potatoes, meatloaf and chicken soup.  But after whipping up a simple cobbler I realized that this dessert hits the spot for comfort foods in the heat of summer!  So simple, so delish, you’ll be bringing it to every BBQ and summer party!

Blueberry Peach Cobbler

Special Tools: Oven safe pie dish (I just got a new one at The Homesteader in downtown Steamboat Springs!),  Food processor.

For the pie:

4 ripe peaches

1  cup of fresh blueberries

For the Topping:

2/3 cups of flour

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1/4 cup of uncooked oats (ie/quaker oats, or steel cut oats)

3 tablespoons of wheat germ

1 teaspoon of salt

6 tablespoons of COLD unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Wash the fruit and dry well.  Cut the peaches into slices.  Arrange fruit in the pie dish.

Combine all topping ingredients in a food processor (or mix by hand) and pulse until well combined and the mixture looks like chunky sand.

Carefully pour topping over fruit and smooth out to evenly  cover the top of the fruit.

Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.  Serve with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.  YUM!

    Since I'm making this outside of blueberry season I used all frozen fruit. The brand 'private selection' at City Market has some lovely frozen peach slices and big beautiful blueberries. Add a bit more time to the cooking process if you also use frozen fruit.

    It took me a try or two to decide on the ideal pan. I settled on a ceramic shallow dish 9" cassarole pan. A shallow glass pie pan, or aluminum pie pan could also work, just adjust the cooking time.

    The dessert is in the oven now and I am curious to see how the flavor will be since there aren't any spices or seasonings in the recipe......

    The final product is definitely yummy and rich. For my tastes I would add cinnamon (maybe 1tsp) and perhaps som mace, nutmeg, or cardamom. I would use less salt too, but my husband thinks the saltiness is fine. :)
