Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca starch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 0.5 cup cold butter, cut into cubes, or cold coconut oil
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.

While the peaches are macerating, prepare the cobbler topping. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter or coconut oil to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to cut the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the flour and butter mixture and stir gently until just combined, forming a slightly sticky dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough topping.

Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peaches, covering as much of the fruit as possible. It's okay if there are some gaps, as the topping will spread slightly during baking.
- 5
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. The aroma of warm peaches and spices will fill your kitchen. Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving, as gluten-free baked goods continue to set as they cool.

Tips & Notes
- Too much xanthan gum makes baked goods rubbery — stick precisely to the recipe amount.
- Tapioca starch creates a slightly chewy, stretchy texture in GF baked goods — a welcome trait for pizza crust and flatbreads.
- Softened butter should hold a fingerprint but not be greasy — if it melts on touch, it's too warm for creaming.
