Ingredients:
Peach Filling:
5 peaches, cut into wedges
125 g (1 cup) fresh raspberries
75 g (½ cup) caster sugar
Cobbler Topping:
90 g (½ cup) cold butter, cubed
90 g (⅔ cup) caster sugar
140 g (1 cup) plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons milk
2 tablespoons flaked almonds
Zest of 1 lemon
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 160°C for a fan oven (170°C for a conventional oven).
Prepare the Fruit: Cut the peaches into chunky slices and place them in a bowl. Add the raspberries and toss with the caster sugar. Transfer the fruit mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and set aside.
Make the Cobbler Topping: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Using your fingers, rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter. Add the milk and mix until the dough comes together with a texture similar to soft cookie dough.
Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the cobbler topping over the fruit in the baking dish. Sprinkle with demerara sugar (optional) and the flaked almonds.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is juicy and bubbling around the edges and the cobbler topping is golden and fluffy.
