A fun twist on my family’s classic Peach Cobbler recipe. I switched things up and used plums instead. I think you’re really going to enjoy it!

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 people 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • a pinch of salt (if you use salted butter, omit this)
  • 16 ripe plums (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • orange zest from 1 orange

Crust

  • 1 stick of butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (if you use salted butter, omit this)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

Filling

      1. Preheat the oven to 350°F

      1. Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan.

      1. Stir in the sugars, flour, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until completely incorporated and sugar is dissolved

      1. Add plums, orange zest, and orange juice. Continue stirring until completely heated through (about 5 min).

      1. Pour into a greased 9 X 13-inch casserole dish (or use a tart dish as seen in the images) and set aside.

Crust and finishing

  1. Cream together butter and sugar
  2. add flour, baking powder, salt, milk, vanilla and eggs.
  3. pour batter evenly over the filling (I recommend using a bowl with a spout and a flexible icing spatula to spread it)
  4. Bake for 1 hour or until bubbling and golden brown on top.
  5. Let stand for about 10-15 minutes and serve with ice cream, whipped cream, both or plain.

Equipment

Notes

For short-term storage, place the covered plum cobbler in the refrigerator, but should be eaten within two to three days to be safe.
For longer storage, let the cobbler completely cool. Then cover with the lid OR Aluminum Foil and place flat in your freezer. The frozen cobbler will be kept for six to eight months.
If available, you can use a baking dish that is both freezer and oven-safe for ease of use and minimal extra dishes.
