Peach Blueberry Cobbler
This easy cobbler recipe showcases the flavors of fresh peaches and blueberries in a dessert everyone will love! It consists of a juicy fruit layer topped by a biscuit dough that bakes to a golden brown and is wonderful served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can use fresh or frozen fruit and it can be made ahead.
It's a baked dessert that has a layer of fruit and a starchy topping.
The fruit bakes and releases its juices at the same time that the top dries and turns golden brown. A fantastic and very easy-to-make dessert!
There are different types of toppings or top crust as it's sometimes called.
Drop biscuits, the type we're using for this recipe today, is a wetter, spoonable dough that can also be lightly spread, as we do for our popular Pear Cobbler.
