Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Mix peach filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
- Assemble peach layer: Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to form the bottom layer of the cobbler.
- Prepare the batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until you form a smooth batter.
- Add batter topping: Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Do not try to mix the batter into the peaches; it should sit on top.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic touch.
- If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the cobbler.
- For a crispier topping, sprinkle a little sugar over the batter before baking.
- This recipe can easily be doubled for a larger crowd using a bigger baking dish.
