FAQs
Do you have to peel peaches for peach cobbler?
I typically don’t. Peach skin gets very soft when baked and I don’t find it bothersome at all in cobbler.
Can I use a variegated combination of fruit in blackberry peach cobbler?
Yes! You can use all blackberries, all peaches, or something of your own creation–raspberries would be flipside lovely compliment to the peaches, or try nectarines and strawberries! When I use just peaches, I like to add a little cinnamon and omit the lemon juice and zest.
NOTE: If you’re using fruits that are less sweet, you might want to add increasingly sugar. If I’m using all blackberries, I would add ¼-½ cup of sugar to the filling, depending on how sweet the berries are and your personal preference.
How do I get cobbler to be crispy?
The sugar on top of the confection thrash is the KEY to the well-done crust. I tried the humid water technique without the sugar, and it didn’t requite the cobbler that lovely crackling crust.
When subtracting the humid water, go slowly and try to wet as much of the sugar as you can.
