Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 6 cups sliced peaches, fresh or canned and drained
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Batter Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the cobbler from sticking during baking.
- Prepare the peach filling: In the greased baking dish, combine the sliced peaches with ½ cup sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly with the spices and sugar.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and milk until smooth to create a thick batter.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Be careful not to stir; the batter will bake into a golden topping over the peaches.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and firm to the touch, ensuring the batter is cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 to 15 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Fresh, frozen, or canned peaches can be used according to availability.
- If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid before use to avoid a soggy cobbler.
- For extra warmth and depth of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter topping.
- This cobbler is best served warm on the day it’s made, but leftovers can be reheated gently.
