\"blueberry<\/a><\/p>\n

This recipe is from my friend Jessica<\/a>. She and her husband Forde were some of our first couple friends in Charlotte, where we moved when we got married and Jay started seminary. We had just left our college bubble and the constant companionship of living near all our\u00a0close friends (I wonder if I’ll ever stop missing that..?). Fortunately, one of our pastors set us up on what amounts to a blind date with Forde and Jess, and as first dates go, this one was pretty awesome. We had gone over to their house in the afternoon and ended up staying for dinner. I don’t remember what else we ate, but Jessica made this blueberry peach cobbler for dessert and it.was.magical.<\/p>\n

\"peaches<\/a><\/p>\n

It starts with the best summery fruits – peaches and blueberries (or you can use just peaches…and we also love it with blackberries). It has a super simple topping that turns\u00a0moist and caky where it mingles with the fruit…but the top layer is perfectly brown with crunchy edges, like a crisp-chewy buttery cookie. Since it only has a few\u00a0ingredients, you can make it in a snap and the fresh fruit really shines!<\/p>\n

\"measuring<\/a><\/p>\n

You need about 2 cups of fruit. This was 2 peaches and around\u00a01\/2 a cup of blueberries. Normally I use a regular measuring cup or just eyeball it, but I had to get creative since our rental kitchen isn’t exactly…stocked.<\/p>\n

\"making<\/a><\/p>\n

The topping is just flour, sugar, and an egg. You can whisk it or stir it with a fork, but I just use my\u00a0fingers to make it crumbly! Sprinkle it over the fruit.<\/p>\n

\"blueberry<\/a><\/p>\n

Topping the topping with butter is what makes the crust so irresistible. Slice up half a stick into pats and add them on top!<\/p>\n

\"baked<\/a><\/p>\n

The cobbler bakes for about 40 minutes, until it’s bubbly and brown. And, frankly, gorgeous<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/a><\/p>\n

Vanilla ice cream is a must!<\/p>\n

\"blueberry<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0See the crunchy top, the cake-like crumbs, and the beautiful\u00a0fruit?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I highly recommend having blueberry peach cobbler ready to go into the oven right before dinner, so that it’s done just in time for dessert. It’s the perfect thing to make when you have friends over, and it’s easy to have one of your guests mix up the topping or slice the peaches if you’re running a little behind!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a>
