Vegan Peach Cobbler

1. Prepare the Peach Filling:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the peaches are well coated.
Transfer the mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish or a deep pie dish.
2. Make the Biscuit Topping:
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the chilled vegan butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir the apple cider vinegar into the plant-based milk to create a « buttermilk. » Let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
Gradually add the buttermilk to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
3. Assemble the Cobbler:
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the peach filling, leaving some gaps for the fruit to peek through.
Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the biscuit dough for added sweetness and crunch (optional).
4. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
Drizzle with maple syrup or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Tips for Success:
Fresh vs. Frozen Peaches: If using frozen peaches, let them thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid a watery filling.
Make it Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for the topping.
Extra Spices: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the filling for a flavor boost.
This vegan peach cobbler is a simple, crowd-pleasing dessert that celebrates the natural sweetness of peaches. Enjoy it at its best when served fresh out of the oven! 🍑✨
