The Barefoot Contessa Peach and Raspberry Crisp - Cobbler

BecR's Note:

Delicious! I like to make this tasty crisp-cobbler when the peaches are at their prime, around July or August in our garden! From The Barefoot Contessa.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 25 mins
• Prep Time: 25 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 4 -5 lbs firm ripe peaches (10 to 12 large peaches)
• 1 orange, zest of
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (divided use)
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed (divided use)
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus
• 2 -3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (divided use)
• 1/2 pint raspberries
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
• 1/2 lb cold unsalted butter, diced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the inside of a 10-by-15-inch oval baking dish.
2. Immerse the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then place them in cold water. Peel the peaches and slice them into thick wedges and place them into a large bowl.
3. Add the orange zest, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss well. Gently mix in the raspberries. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. If there is a lot of liquid, add 1 more tablespoon of flour. Pour the peaches into the baking dish and gently smooth the top.
4. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, oatmeal and the cold butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly. (Note: May mix by hand or with a pastry blender.) Sprinkle the topping evenly over the peaches and raspberries.
5. Bake the crisp for 1 hour, until the top is browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator and reheat in a 350-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes until warm.

This is a wonderful recipe! (most of Ina's are LOL) I think the orange zest adds just the right touch. Also, I think it is important to only use unsalted butter. My entire family LOVED this. Thanks for posting, BecR.
