Description
Individual peach cobbler is a personal-sized version of the classic peach cobbler dessert. Traditional peach cobbler recipes involve a delicious peach filling topped with a biscuit-like or cake-like topping. In this version, the dessert is baked in small ramekins, which make it more fun and serve as perfect single portions. Whether you’re making it for yourself or a guest, these individual servings allow for personal customization and are easier to enjoy without the hassle of slicing and serving from a larger dish.
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 1 large or 2 medium ripe peaches (about 1.5 cups diced)
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: Turbinado or brown sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two 6-8 ounce ramekins. You can also place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Wash, peel (if desired), and dice the peaches into bite-sized pieces. In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Assemble the Cobblers: Divide the peach mixture evenly between the two prepared ramekins.
- Add the Topping: To the dry ingredients for the topping, add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Mix with a fork until a thick dough or batter forms. The texture can vary—some recipes create a more biscuit-like topping, while others are more cake-like. Do not overmix.
- Bake: Spoon the topping mixture over the peaches in each ramekin. Spread it out to cover most of the peaches, leaving some space around the edges for the juices to bubble up. If using, sprinkle a little turbinado or brown sugar on top for a crunchy finish.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet with the ramekins on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobblers cool for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to thicken. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a classic dessert.
Notes
These individual peach cobblers taste amazing on their own, but you can take them up a notch by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They’re also perfect for make-ahead—just reheat in the oven for a few minutes to bring back that fresh-baked warmth.
