It’s no surprise how much I love a Paleo fruit cobbler! I’m usually a chocolate dessert person but I can NEVER say no to a Paleo cobbler recipe. Peach cobbler is one of my very favorite summer desserts.  I recently discovered I loved apricots (am I late to the game here?) and knew they belonged inside a cobbler.  To bring out even more flavor, I added some blackberries.  This Paleo cobbler recipe is insane!  The flavors are slightly unexpected – just enough to keep you guessing and wanting to go back for more.  Make my Paleo Apricot Chicken for dinner and this for dessert!

Ingredients & Substitutions

APRICOTS: Apricots are naturally sweet and make the perfect base for this Paleo cobbler recipe.

BLACKBERRIES: Blackberries add a touch of tartness and sweetness to the cobbler filling.

MAPLE SYRUP: Maple syrup is a common natural liquid sweetener. It is used in the filling to sweeten it.

CINNAMON: A little bit of cinnamon adds the perfect amount of spice to both the filling and cobbler topping.

SEA SALT: A pinch of sea salt is totally optional!

TAPIOCA FLOUR: Tapioca flour is the Paleo and corn free version of cornstarch. It is used to thicken the filling and the topping.

LEMON JUICE: Lemon juice naturally bring outs the flavor of the other fruit.

ALMOND FLOUR: Almond flour is used to make the cobbler dough. In addition, this common Paleo and gluten free baking flour is slightly nutty.

COCONUT SUGAR: An unrefined granulated sugar, coconut sugar helps sweeten the cobbler dough.

COCONUT OIL: To keep this Paleo cobbler Vegan, use coconut oil in the topping. Ghee or butter can be substituted.

ALMOND MILK: A little bit of almond milk moistens the cobbler dough.

VANILLA EXTRACT: Just a teaspoon of vanilla adds a slight flavor to the topping dough.

How to Make Paleo Fruit Cobbler

Step 1

To make this Paleo cobbler recipe, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a pie dish with coconut oil spray.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the bottom layer ingredients.  Toss until coated. Pour into pie plate.

Step 4

Add all cobbler topping ingredients to a bowl and mix.  Batter should be thick.  Drop topping in clumps on top of bottom layer.

Step 5

Tips to Make the Best Paleo Fruit Cobbler

  • Be sure bottom layer doesn’t contain too much liquid. If using very ripe fruit, add another tablespoon of tapioca flour to the mixing bowl.
  • Cobbler topping dough should be thick. This allows it to hold its shape while baking.
  • Bake cobbler until topping is starting to turn golden and fruit is bubbling.
  • If topping is too brown and fruit isn’t yet tender, place a sheet of aluminum foil over pie plate and continue baking.
