- 6 fresh peaches, sliced
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- Allow the cobbler to cool for several minutes before serving so the filling can set slightly.
- Scoop into bowls and serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but frozen peaches can be used without thawing by increasing the flour slightly to absorb extra moisture. Keep the butter cold for a crisp topping. The fruit mixture can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, but add the topping just before baking. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
