Peaches are one of my all time favorite fruits. Its a tie between peaches and mangoes. And when peach season rolls around, I cannot get enough peaches. They are SO juicy and flavorful. And I LOVE the combination of peach and blackberry. So what better way to celebrate my favorite fruit than by making this Vegan Peach Blackberry Cobbler.
How to Cut Peaches for Vegan Peach Blackberry Cobbler
The most time consuming part of making this vegan peach blackberry cobbler is cutting the fruit. To make this part a little easier, first wait until the peaches are ripe.
Now you’ve got ripe peaches so lets cover a couple peach facts: There are two types of peaches: free stone and cling stone.
Cling stone are harder to deal with because the fruit clings to the sone, as the name suggests. In this case, the best way to cut the peaches would just be cutting the cheeks off, similar to how you’d cut an apple around the core.
Luckily, typically the peaches you find in the grocery store are free stone, which means you can cut them down the center like an avocado, twist the halves and pull the peach apart. And then, the stone should easily pull away from the other side because it is free from the flesh.
After the stones are removed, I like to cut each peach half in half. Then I cut each quarter into 5-6 slices. These are pretty thin slices. But, since I leave the skin on, the peaches for this vegan peach blackberry cobbler, I think thin slices make for a better eating experience.
Cobbler Variations
This Vegan Peach Blackberry Cobbler can be adjusted to fit your favorite fruits. The peaches can be subbed for nectarines, and the back berries can be subbed for blueberries or strawberries. Or adjust the amounts to use less peaches and more blackberries or vise versa. Make this fruit cobbler exactly how you want!
How to Store Vegan Peach Blackberry Cobbler
If you are eating this Vegan Peach and Blackberry Cobbler on the same day its being baked, that great! But if you are making this ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator and heat it back up for 20 minutes at 350*.
You can also make assemble everything ahead of time, but don’t bake it until the day you’re planning on eating it. But I’d only do this method one day in advance.
