Easy to Gobble Cobbler Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 pounds ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced, about 8 cups
- 1/2 pint blackberries
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Topping:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 small pats
How To Make Easy to Gobble Cobbler
- Prep the oven and filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, add the sliced peaches, blackberries, and blueberries. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar, and the tapioca flour, then toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Make the dough: In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and both sugars. Pulse 3 to 4 times to mix. Slowly pour in the buttermilk and mix just until the dough comes together.
- Assemble the cobbler: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and divide it into two portions: one about three-quarters of the dough, and the other one-quarter. Press the larger portion of dough into the bottom of a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Pour the fruit filling over the top.
- Add topping and bake: Take the remaining quarter of the dough and drop 6 to 8 even dollops over the top of the fruit filling. Sprinkle the dough tops with the cinnamon and sugar mixture, then evenly dot the small pats of butter over the entire cobbler. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the dough is golden. Let it cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Recipe Tips
- How to prevent a soggy bottom? The tapioca flour is the secret ingredient here. It’s a fantastic thickener that will turn the fruit juices into a delicious, jammy sauce without making the bottom dough soggy.
- Can I use frozen fruit? Yes. For the best results, let the frozen fruit thaw completely and then drain off any excess liquid before tossing it with the sugar and tapioca flour.
- What if I don’t have a cast iron skillet? A 9×13-inch baking dish or another large, oven-safe skillet will work perfectly as a substitute.
- How do I know when the cobbler is done? The cobbler is ready when the fruit filling is visibly bubbling up around the edges and the biscuit topping is a deep golden brown.

FAQs
Can I use a different fruit?
Yes, this recipe is a fantastic base for other fruits. All peaches, a mix of berries, or even plums would be delicious.
Do I have to use a food processor for the dough?
No. You can make the dough in a bowl by whisking the dry ingredients together, then using a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut in cold, cubed butter (instead of using buttermilk) until it resembles coarse crumbs, and then adding a little ice water to bring it together.
What is tapioca flour?
Tapioca flour (or tapioca starch) is a starchy flour made from the cassava root. It’s a great gluten-free thickener for pies and cobblers because it creates a clear, glossy sauce and has a neutral flavor.
