How to Make It

Get ready to whip up this delicious cobbler in just a few simple steps.

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 400℉.

2. Cook the peaches

To a medium sauté or sauce pan over medium heat, add peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce heat to low and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, until peaches soften and thicken.

3. Prepare the topping

In a medium bowl, use a pastry cutter or your hands to combine the butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Mix until crumbly.

4. Assemble the cobblers

Fill two 7-ounce ramekins with peach filling. Top each ramekin evenly with crumble topping.

5. Bake the cobblers

Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake in preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly.

6. Cool and serve

Remove from the oven and let the mini cobblers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Freezer: No, the topping becomes soggy.
Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350℉ for about 10 minutes.
