Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 5 medium Peaches (peeled, cored, and sliced; approx. 4 cups)
- 6 tbsp Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or more to taste)
- 1 tbsp Besti Brown Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon (optional)
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum (or 1–2 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch)
Biscuit Topping
- 1 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Cook Peaches: In a large saucepan, combine sliced peaches, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose blends (regular and brown), cinnamon, and sea salt. Cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until peaches soften and release some liquid. Adjust sweetness as needed based on peach sweetness.
- Thicken Filling: Slowly sprinkle xanthan gum evenly over the peach mixture and stir until it thickens to a jam-like consistency, ensuring it doesn’t clump.
- Arrange Filling: Transfer and spread the peach filling evenly in a single layer at the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish.
- Prepare Topping Dry Mix: In a food processor, combine almond flour, Besti Monk Fruit Allulose, baking powder, and sea salt. Process until the mixture is uniform.
- Add Butter: Add cold unsalted butter to the food processor and pulse intermittently until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the processor and pulse until just combined to form the batter.
- Top the Peaches: Drop the batter by tablespoons over the peach filling, covering most of the surface but leaving a few gaps so steam can escape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Peel peaches easily by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice water.
- Xanthan gum helps thicken the filling without adding starch; alternatively, use arrowroot powder or cornstarch for slightly different textures.
- Adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness and natural sugar content of your peaches.
- Cold butter in the topping ensures a flaky, crumbly texture.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low sugar, ideal for low-carb and keto diets when using the recommended sweeteners.
