Ingredients

Fruit:

6 ripe nectarines, about 1 pound
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant tapioca
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced into small pieces, plus more for the pan

Cobbler Top:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced into small pieces
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
Serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Directions

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.

For the fruit: Halve the nectarines along their natural seam, but leave skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Toss nectarines with blueberries, sugar, and tapioca and put into a buttered 9-inch round gratin or casserole dish. Dot the top of the fruit with the pieces of butter.

For the cobbler top: Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Rub in 2 tablespoons of the butter with your fingertips until no visible pieces remain. Rub in the remaining 4 tablespoons butter just until it is in even, pea-size pieces. Whisk together the egg and cream and stir into the dry ingredients to make a shaggy, loose dough.

Spoon large spoonfuls of dough on top of the fruit in clumps (it should look like rough, old-fashioned cobblestones, hence the name cobbler). Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the topping comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cobbler on a rack, about 20 minutes.

Serve warm or room temperature, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

My new go-to cobbler recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This will now replace the cobbler recipe I have used for years. I liked the handling of this dough better, and it completely... covered the fruit. I used 6 peaches in place of the nectarines, otherwise folllowed the recipe pretty much as written. I mixed the dough in the food processor with the dough blade but did have to work it by hand a bit at the end to get even blending. It did not spill over in the oven, but I did have to pull it out at about 50 minutes, the top was well browned and done (used a Pyrex 2-qt cassrole). Result was to die for! The crust is not very sweet but is a good balance with all the sugar in the fruit.Read more

Delicious...but not an hour.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was loved by everyone, mostly because of a dark, brown, crunchy crust. At 40 min. I thought it smelled like it was... finished cooking and it was. Make sure to check your cobbler while it's baking to make sure it doesn't burn. Keep your eye on it.Read more

perfect... not too sweet!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We really enjoyed this dessert! It was the perfect balance of sweet with the fruit and salty with the crust. I did add a... few drops of vanilla to the crust. I served it with fresh whipped cream as I didn't have any ice cream, still very yummy!Read more

Splenda, a 9x13 pan and 45 minutes in the oven = perfection
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for a 4th of July picnic and it was a hit! I substituted Splenda for sugar and used half the amount the recipe... called for because the nectarines were very sweet. It turned out perfectly! Delicious.Read more

You want to try this!!! Super simple and such fabulous flavor. The cobbler topping is delicious, I think that I may use this... dough instead of what my other cobbler recipes call for. You won't be disappointed!Read more
