Ingredients
  

Fruit Filling
  • 4 nectarines sliced
  • 2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.33 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Serving
  • 1 serving vanilla ice cream optional
  • 0.25 cup fresh blueberries optional
  • 0.5 tsp mint leaves optional

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 9-inch baking dish

Method
 

Prep and fill
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position an oven rack in the middle so the topping browns evenly.
  2. Combine nectarines, blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix until the cornstarch is evenly distributed and the fruit looks glossy.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish. Spread it into an even layer so it bakes uniformly.
Make topping and bake
  1. Whisk all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Stop when no dry streaks remain.
  2. Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until a thick batter forms. Mix just until combined so the topping stays tender.
  3. Spoon the batter evenly over the fruit filling. Cover the surface with small mounds so it bakes into a golden crust.
  4. Bake for 40–45 minutes at 375°F (190°C) until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Look for active bubbling around the edges as the visual cue.
Cool and serve
  1. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes. The filling will thicken slightly and be easier to scoop.
  2. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired, and top with fresh blueberries and mint leaves if using. Add garnishes right before serving for the freshest look.

Notes

For the cleanest slice, cool the cobbler for the full 10 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; reheat individual portions in the microwave until warm. Freezing is not recommended because the topping can soften. If you want a lower-sugar option, use an equal amount of a 1:1 sugar substitute for the fruit and topping sugars.
