Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches and fresh raspberries. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, add the lemon juice, and drizzle with vanilla extract. Gently toss the mixture until the fruit is well-coated. Set aside for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld and the juices develop.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until combined.
Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Take care not to overmix; a slightly lumpy batter is perfect for a fluffy cobbler.
Spread the prepared fruit mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Carefully pour the batter over the top of the fruit. The batter will naturally spread out while baking.
Evenly sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the batter for added flavor and aroma.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to thicken slightly.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast.
