SUMMERY DESSERT ON THE TRAEGER

Cobbler, baked fresh on the Traeger, is an ultimate summer dish. While cobbler is still delicious in the fall and winter, there’s just something special about cutting up fresh fruit from a roadside stand or farmer’s market and using it in such an easy and simple way so that the flavors of the fruit really lead the way.

Stone fruit– like peaches, plums, apricots and nectarines– lend themselves especially well to application in a cobbler, and this recipe for peach and blackberry cobbler demonstrates how to fruits can come together in a terrific dish.

EASY COBBLER BATTER TO MAKE

There are a wide variety of types of cobbler in the world, and you’ve probably enjoyed a number of them. Many cobblers use biscuit-type dough and the fruit underneath. What I love about this recipe is that the cobbler batter is on the bottom of the dish, and then the fruit is put on top. The result is fruit that is wrapped in batter at the end– as the dough puffs up around the fruit as it cooks.

This batter recipe couldn’t be easier: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla and cinnamon are all whisked together with whole milk and then poured atop melted butter in a cast iron skillet. It literally takes 5 minutes to assemble.

WHAT KIND OF FRUIT TO USE IN COBBLER

Cobblers traditionally are made with stone fruits or berries and seasoned with cinnamon. We love this recipe for peaches and blackberries in the cobbler because you get the natural sweetness of the peaches, the slight tart tang of the blackberries and the beautiful colors of fresh fruit.

Other options you could use include strawberries and rhubarb, nectarines, apricots, sweet or tart cherries, blueberries or apples and pomegranate arils. There are so many great options!

SHOULD YOU SWEETEN THE FRUIT?

With a fruit like peaches, we don’t find the need to sweeten the fruit for peach and blackberry cobbler baked on the Traeger. The peaches are naturally juicy and sweet and produce a good amount of juice once sliced and seasoned with cinnamon. But if you’re making a Traeger baked cobbler with tart cherries, you will definitely want to add some sugar to balance out the tart!

WHY COOKING COBBLER ON THE TRAEGER WORKS

One of our favorite summertime desserts to make is cobbler. It comes together super quickly, is versatile in that you can make it with any combination of fresh or frozen fruits and is so delicious. While peach cobbler is by far the family favorite, you can easily make this recipe with cherries, berries, other stone fruits or even stewed apples. The options are fairly limitless.

When it comes to baking the cobbler, doing so in the Traeger ensures your house stays cool during the summer heat and your resulting cobbler has the slightest hint of wood-fired flavor. While you’re not smoking the cobbler on the grill, the Traeger’s wood pellet fuel inherently gives off a bit of smoke that really adds to the overall result.

Prep the cobbler ingredients before dinner is served, and then pop the skillet in the hot grill while you eat dinner. In about 30 minutes, you’ll have a piping hot Traeger baked peach and blackberry cobbler to enjoy with your friends and family.
