Print Recipe

A gentle, soothing peach cobbler recipe designed for sensitive stomachs and acid reflux sufferers, featuring low-acid peaches and a mild cinnamon-spiced batter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • ¼ cup oat flour (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ¾ cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (use dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, choose lactose-free if needed)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice peaches into roughly ½-inch thick slices. Toss in a large bowl with maple syrup, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into dry ingredients with a pastry cutter or forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in buttermilk or yogurt and stir gently with a fork until just combined; batter should be lumpy but cohesive.
  5. Pour peach filling into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of topping over peaches, leaving gaps for steam.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices bubble around edges. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  7. Let cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, low-acid peaches and avoid lemon juice or vinegar to keep acidity low. Cold butter is key for a flaky topping. Do not overmix the batter to avoid toughness. Rotate pan halfway through baking for even browning. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based yogurt. Frozen peaches can be used when fresh are unavailable. Letting cobbler rest overnight enhances flavor and softens topping.
