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
- Prepare Fruit Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries and sliced peaches; no need to thaw if using frozen.
- Season Fruit: Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, then gently toss until the fruit is well coated.
- Transfer to Crockpot: Spread the fruit mixture evenly at the bottom of your crockpot.
- Mix Dry Topping Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and baking powder; stir until well mixed.
- Add Wet Topping Ingredients: Pour in melted butter and milk, add optional almond extract, and mix until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
- Assemble Cobbler: Spoon the topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the crockpot.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, checking around the 4-hour mark.
- Thicken Topping (Optional): Remove the lid during the last hour to allow the cobbler topping to thicken.
- Check Doneness: The cobbler is done when the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown; a toothpick inserted in the topping should come out clean.
- Serve: Scoop portions ensuring both fruit and topping are included.
- Plate: Serve warm in bowls, optionally topping with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Garnish (Optional): Sprinkle cinnamon or drizzle caramel sauce before serving for an extra touch.
Notes
- Frozen fruit can be used directly without thawing.
- For a nuttier topping, consider adding chopped nuts to the oat mixture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your crockpot model.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
- Optional almond extract adds a subtle nutty flavor; omit if allergic.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce for added indulgence.
