How to Make It

Here’s how to create your delicious peach cobbler in just a few easy steps.

1. Preheat

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Ensure the oven is fully heated for even baking.

2. Prepare the Peach Filling

Combine ingredients in a pan. To a medium sauté or sauce pan over medium heat, add peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.

3. Cook the Filling

Cook the mixture until bubbly. When the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 10-15 minutes, until the peaches soften and thicken.

4. Make the Crumble Topping

Combine the topping ingredients. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, use a pastry cutter or your hands to combine the butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and flour. Mix until crumbly.

5. Assemble the Ramekins

Fill the ramekins with peach filling. Fill two 7-ounce ramekins with the peach filling and top each ramekin evenly with the crumble topping.

6. Bake

Place ramekins in the oven. Place the ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly.

7. Cool

Allow to cool before serving. Remove from the oven and let the mini cobblers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
