Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 4 medium nectarines Feel free to substitute with peaches or plums.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and depth to the fruit mixture.
Cobbler Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can use whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste.
  • 1 cup sugar Brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Helps the topping rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the flavors.
  • 1/2 cup milk Dairy-free alternatives include almond or coconut milk.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Spoon the batter over the fruit, covering it completely.
  3. Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool slightly before serving.
