Weeknight Cobbler For Two

August 11, 2014 by Joy the Baker 53 Comments

Jump to Recipe

weeknight cobbler for two

This is a safe place.  This is the place you can openly admit to watching Bachelor In Paradise and eating chocolate chips for dinner.

It’s Monday and the sheer fact that we’re making it through the day means that anything goes including chocolate for dinner and super easy crumble cobblers for dessert.  It’s as simple as that, really.

Peach and Strawberry Weeknight Cobbler for two

Hopefully you have a peach and a few strawberries.  Maybe you have a plum and a few cherries.  Maybe there are a few blackberries and raspberries in your fridge.  Noooo banana… save that for smoothie tomorrow morning.

Peach and Strawberry Weeknight Cobbler for two

Flour, brown sugar, oats, and pie spices together in a bowl.  Just like old times, really.

Cold butter is added in cubes and the entire mixture is worked together into a buttery crumble.

I love the addition of sliced almonds, but you can skip those ooorrr add flaked coconut if you’re feelin’ it!

Any little oven-safe dishes will do.  I have these 1-cup dishes that are just perfect for packing with fruit and crumble.

Easy layers.

Fresh fruit topped with crumble.  Crumble topped with more fruit  Fruit topped with more crumble.

Topped with almonds and, because there’s a lot of goodness packed into these 1-cup bowls, I press it down a bit with a spoon.  It will all cook down in the oven.  Not to worry.

Baked until bubbly and golden crisp.  It’s too easy, really.

Warm and ready for action!  These little cobblers are perfect served warm from the oven, or topped with cold almond milk, whipped cream, or French Vanilla ice cream.

Weeknight baking!  Let’s keep it easy.

Weeknight Cobbler For Two

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe peach, pitted and cut into medium chunks
  • 1 scant cup fresh sliced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground all-spice
  • two small pinches salt
  • 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds (optional, but lovely)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, toss together peach chunks and strawberry slices. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, oats, spices, and salt. Add the butter chunks, and using your hands, quickly break the butter down into the dry ingredients. Some of the butte will the size of oat flakes, some the size of peas. Work the butter into the mixture. Toss in the sliced almonds and combine.
  3. Use two, small, oven-safe ramekins for baking. My ramekins were 1-cup size. Fill the ramekins halfway with peach and berries. Add a small handful of crumble topping to each ramekin. Split the remaining fruit between the two ramekins and top with the remaining crumble topping. Press the fruit and topping down into the ramekin. It should be very full and overflow a bit. Not to worry. It will cook down in the oven.
  4. Place the uncooked cobblers in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or overnight.
  5. When ready to bake, place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to protect from any bubble over.
  6. Place the chilled ramekins on the prepared baking pan and bake for 22-28 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve alone, drizzled with almond milk, topped with whipped cream, or with a side of ice cream!

    Joy! I love all these small-batch cooking posts lately! Single lady pancake, cobbler for two… I have the hardest time finding small recipes to make for myself (because I hate eating leftovers). You are a genius!

    Love the small quantity in this recipe. Most desserts make way too much for my husband and me. Baking for two is problematic.

    i love doing this. i make crumble in a big batch (with pecans, oh pecans) and freeze it in a ziploc bag for even speedier ’emergency cobbler’ prep.

    This is adorable. I am loving your ‘for one’ and ‘for two’ recipes! Maybe I need to slow down on the pancakes and crumbles though… I won’t be able to reach the counter to make them if I carry on!

    I love this idea-perfect weeknight dessert combined with using up extra fruit bits. I have a peach and a handful of blueberries just begging to be cobblered.
