The recipe comes from Katie Lee's Easy Breezy Eats. The book is full of all the best summer eats. It's the kind of cookbook you need if you want to eat all the best summery food every day of the season. There's even a whole chapter on burgers, tacos, and pizza.

Each recipe celebrates all that summer has to offer, and this peach blueberry cobbler is no exception.

Key Ingredients

• Fruits - This cobbler is a great way to celebrate fresh summer fruits. You can also use frozen fruits so you can make this any time of year. There is some debate as to whether or not you should peel your peaches. That is completely up to you.
• Flour - Traditionally, you use all-purpose flour in cobbler, but you can use whole wheat flour to add more wholesomeness to your dessert.
• Sugar - Granulated sugar is great for letting the fruits shine, but if you want to add more depth, you can use brown sugar in the cobbler top.

Step by Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven and grab your cast iron skillet.
• Slice your peaches and add to the skillet along with your blueberries. Coat with lemon juice.
• Mix together the sugar, flour, and remaining dry ingredients for the cobbler in a bowl.
• Stir in milk and melted butter. Pour batter over the fruit.
• Mix sugar and cornstarch together.
• Top the batter with boiling water, then top with the sugar and cornstarch mixture.
• Bake until the fruit is bubbly.

Expert tips

You can bake this peach blueberry cobbler in a regular baking dish, but I prefer to use a cast iron skillet. It conducts the heat better and shortens the baking time compared to a baking dish, plus it is much nicer presentation-wise.

There's a big debate on whether or not you should skin your peaches or not. Honestly, it's up to personal preference. For me, the skin doesn't bother me when its baked. Plus, I like to keep my prep as simple as possible, so keeping the skins on help with this.

If you want to make the cobbler when the fruit isn't in season, you can use frozen fruit. I'd just sprinkle the fruit with a bit of extra sugar and a couple of pinches of cornstarch since frozen fruit tend to release more liquid when baked.

If you want to refrigerate your peach blueberry cobbler (it does not necessarily need to be refrigerated by the way), I highly recommend waiting until it is full cooled to room temperature.

Technically, you can freeze the dessert, but I wouldn't do it in the cast iron. I would transfer it to an airtight container, which would more than likely end with your cobbler top mixed in with the filling. That isn't a completely bad thing, but ruins the aesthetics and turns the top to mush.

To reheat the peach blueberry cobbler, you can use the microwave for a few minutes, or you can reheat it in the oven at 300 degrees F for about 20 minutes.

Cobbler is good on its own, but let's be honest, there is nothing like having a warm cobbler topped with melted ice cream. I love to add slivered almonds for a bit of crunch, too. Do it up and add any other topping your heart desires. I love how this recipe really lends itself to some creativity.
