Before summer’s end make sure you take advantage of all the fresh peaches, plums, nectarines and apricots while you can. This Stone Fruit Cobbler is one of the best ways to enhance your summer fruit experience, even if the fruit is slightly over or under ripe, it works beautifully in this dessert.
Peaches and plums pair nicely together in an old fashioned cobbler like this one and I created a simple brown butter batter to make it even more delicious. Browning butter and letting it cool until it almost solidifies is an easy process that’s done in a skillet right on your stove top. You can let it cool while you peel the peaches and slice the fruit — it doesn’t require much time at all.
The entire cobbler bakes up beautifully in a casserole dish in under an hour and this dessert is best served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. I think it’s the perfect way to say goodbye to summer and remember luscious stone fruit.
