I was thinking about making Peach-Blueberry Cobbler since last week but I had to wait until I have vanilla ice cream coz what’s cobbler without the cold ice cream melting on top of the warm and freshly baked cobbler? This combo is seriously a must. And this Peach-Blueberry fruit combo is definitely without a question the best cobbler I’ve ever made. I thought the peach and apple cobbler was it but I was wrong. The whole family really enjoyed it.

I changed my usual cobbler recipe when I made this one by layering the fruits instead of combining them beforehand and placing them in the pan as 1 layer. I also put a little bit of the topping dough at the bottom before adding the layers of fruits. The result in my opinion a perfect Peach-Blueberry Cobbler.

Then top with the remaining dough. Cover a sheet pan with foil then place the cobbler pan on top. Bake it in the oven until top is golden brown. 45 minutes to an hour.
Cool it down for 5 minutes in the counter before serving.

It doesn’t look pretty but hey, this is real and fruit layers are there. Every bite tastes delicious and that’s the most important thing.

Serve each slice of Peach-Blueberry Cobbler with vanilla ice cream. I loved that the fruits were not too soft at all. You have the big chunks of peaches and the texture of blueberries. This is such a good way to enjoy the fresh fruits of the Summer season.
