Piacere Peach and Cherry Cobbler


Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flower

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

8 Tbsp unsalted chilled vegan butter (Earth Balance)

1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup

1 cup soy milk or almond milk

20 oz frozen peaches

8 oz frozen black cherries

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/2 tsp cinnamon

dash of ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter and mix with hands until a coarse meal forms. Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup soymilk. Mix for 3 minutes (this will form a thick batter). Set aside to rest.

Toss fruit with cornstarch, 1/4 sugar, and spices. Place fruit in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Cover with cobbler dough. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
