Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced into chunks
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
Sourdough Crust
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for variation)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, cold and cut into small pieces
Topping
- Plant-based cream, chilled, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice the fresh peaches into generous chunks. Toss them with brown sugar (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), and the natural gelling agent until well coated. Let the mixture sit briefly to meld flavors and release peach juices.
- Make the Sourdough Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar (natural). Cut the cold plant-based butter into small pieces and incorporate into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Knead lightly to form a pliable dough and chill for 15 minutes.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spread the peach filling evenly in a greased baking dish. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and gently arrange over the peaches, sealing edges carefully. Cut a few slits in the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the peach filling is bubbly and thickened.
- Top with Plant-Based Cream: Once slightly cooled, serve each portion with a generous dollop of chilled plant-based cream for a creamy contrast to the warm cobbler.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
- Keep the crust dough cold to ensure flakiness and crispness.
- Do not overcrowd the filling to avoid a soggy cobbler.
- Start checking the crust around 35 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes after baking to set juices.
