We lightened up this cobbler by using reduced-fat sour cream and less butter.  It's moist and delicious, bursting with warm fresh raspberries and juicy peaches.



Ingredients
6 med peaches, halved and pitted and thinly sliced
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup raspberries
3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar, divided
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp table salt
3 Tbsp regular butter, cold
1/3 cup light sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.

  • Place peaches in a medium bowl; toss with powdered sugar until sugar dissolves. In an 8-inch square baking pan, arrange peach slices in several layers; sprinkle raspberries over top.

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut butter into flour mixture and work in with a fork or pastry cutter until flour resembles course crumbs. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix with a fork until dough comes together.

  • Place clumps of crumb mixture over fruit; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sugar.

  • Bake until top is golden brown and fruit begins to bubble, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.



  • Here are a couple of reviews from Online Members:

    "Great recipe. I cut it in half and used a combination of nectarine, peach, raspberry and blueberry. The big compliment I received was from the cinnamon that I added to the recipe. I sprinkled it over the fruit before placing the topping on the tops. I also used individual ramikins like in the picture and ended up with 6 portions even by halving the recipe that is for 8. Use any fruit, don't be shy. Same for spices, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger... Endless possibilities here. Yum!"

    "Very good, but next time I think I might put a little flour or something in with the peaches to thicken it up. It turned out pretty runny--not that it was horrible, but I'd prefer it to not be so runny. It definitely has good flavor though. Instead of putting the remaining granulated sugar on top, I put raw sugar and it gave it a nice crunch."

    "Delicious! Used blueberries instead of raspberries, it's a keeper!"
