How to Make This Recipe

Below are step-by-step instructions for how to cook this recipe with the best results. The recipe card at the bottom shows the exact cooking time and temperatures.

Do you have to peel nectarines for cobbler?

Unlike apples, nectarines have a thin skin that melts into the dish while baking. While peeling apples for making apple crisp or cobbler is recommended, you do not have to peel the outside skin when making nectarine cobbler or baking with nectarines.

Step 1

Grease a 10-inch pie plate with coconut oil. You could also use a large cast iron skillet.

Clean the outside of the nectarines. You do not need to peel them.

Carefully dice the nectarines into ½-inch squares. You may also opt for slicing the nectarines.

How many nectarines does it take to make 2 cups?

Depending on the size of the fruit, it should take about 3-4 nectarines to make 2 cups of diced stone fruit.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Pour in the almond milk and vanilla and stir to combine.

Step 3

Pour the crust into the pie plate.

Step 4

Place the diced fruit evenly across the top of the batter. Do not mix it in.

Bake nectarine cobbler at 325F for one hour.

Add-ins and Flavor Variations

Cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg can add additional warm flavor and spice.

Combine with or substitute other fruits like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, apples, cherries, plums, or peaches in this stone fruit cobbler.

Lemon zest can provide a tangy flavor component.

Top nectarine cobbler with shredded coconut or chopped almonds for a more nutty flavor.

Serving, Storing & Reheating

Serve with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or vegan vanilla ice cream for additional richness.

Allow the cobbler to cool completely before coving it with aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

To freeze the nectarine cobbler, wrap the cooled dish in plastic wrap and then cover with foil. Place in the freezer and use within 2-3 months.

Reheat the entire cobbler in the oven at 350F until heated through. Individual servings can be easily heated in microwave-safe bowls in the microwave in just a few minutes.

Expert Tips

• Allow the dish to cool for about 30 minutes prior to serving.

• Avoid bruised nectarines if possible.
