This is a safe place. ย This is the place you can openly admit to watching Bachelor In Paradiseย andย eating chocolate chips forย 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. ย It’s as simple as that, really.
Hopefully you have a peach and a few strawberries. ย Maybe you have a plum and a few cherries. ย Maybe there are a few blackberries and raspberries in your fridge. ย Noooo banana… save that for smoothie tomorrow morning.
Flour, brown sugar, oats, and pie spices together in a bowl. ย 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. ย I have these 1-cup dishes that are just perfect for packing with fruit and crumble.
Easy layers.
Fresh fruit topped with crumble. ย Crumble topped with more fruit ย 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. ย It will all cook down in the oven. ย Not to worry.
Baked until bubbly and golden crisp. ย It’s too easy, really.
Warm and ready for action! ย 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! ย Let’s keep it easy.

Weeknight Cobbler For Two
- Prep Time: 0 hours
- Cook Time: 0 hours
- Total Time: 0 hours
Ingredients
- 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
- In a small bowl, toss together peach chunks and strawberry slices. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the uncooked cobblers in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or overnight.
- 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.
- Place the chilled ramekins on the prepared baking pan and bake for 22-28 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
- 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!

Damn. I just made this with some super ripe nectarines and it was delish!!!! I’ll be making it again this weekend!
it looks sooooo good! I love peachs and strawberries, and almonds. Basically I love everything on your recipe.
This is the first recipe of yours that I’ve tried, and I must say it was a success!!
Aggghhh I am shamefully watching bachelor in paradise (ducks head in shame). Also, I’ve been wanting to make a cobbler/ crisp or crumble so bad with all these stone fruits but I’m but a single lady. Thanks Joy!!
Yes, yes, yes!!! I love simple weeknight desserts :)
Love this! Simple and so delicious!

Well these are just too flippin’ adorable! I have so many bits of beautiful summer fruit and this would be just the perfect thing!
I love that this recipe is only for two, so no danger to eat too much :D
Totally irresistible!
This is totally my kind of dessert – so awesome!
Sweet recipe, just for two. Enough for me and hubby. Paulette
Can’t wait to try this tonight!
Oh yum! This is such a perfect date night dessert: easy, delicious, and not overly rich and heavy. We’re definitely trying it this Friday after the baby goes to sleep. Thank you!
my husband will be thrilled to see this after dinner tomorrow night. cobbler is his favorite! might have to double the recipe to keep him happy. thanks for sharing!

I’m really loving the one to two person recipes.
Joy – how in the world did you get your peach slices so perfect? (in image 2) I’ve tried on 3 separate occasions to slice peaches, and every time I end up with a huge pile of peach mush surrounded by peach juice. Are my peaches too ripe? Help!!
loving these small quantity baking posts (single pancake and now this!) its just me and my BF and he’s diabetic (read: can’t eat lots of sweets!) so this is a great way to have homemade dessert without lots of leftovers to tempt us. thanks joy!
this looks so delicious! i can’t wait to try it :)
Exactly what I was looking for! I have peaches, I have strawberries, yay!
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!
Wow joy, this looks absolutely delicious. I’ll cook this for my girlfriend sometime. Shall add this to my to-cook list, hahah!
Love the small quantity in this recipe. Most desserts make way too much for my husband and me. Baking for two is problematic.
