Ingredients
Fruit Layer
- 6 large or 7 medium peaches, thinly sliced
- 1½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Cobbler Topping
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cane sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Serving
- Vegan vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- Layer Peaches: Arrange the thinly sliced peaches evenly in the bottom of the greased baking dish. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the peaches to enhance their flavor and prevent browning.
- Make the Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cane sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Pour in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract, then mix until the ingredients come together into a crumbly dough texture.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping turns lightly golden brown and the peaches are juicy and bubbling.
- Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream on top for a perfect dessert combination.
Notes
- Using ripe, fresh peaches will provide the best natural sweetness; no additional sugar is added to the fruit layer.
- If coconut oil is solid, gently melt it before mixing to ensure even distribution.
- You can substitute cane sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor.
- To make the cobbler gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven.
