Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss well to coat all the pieces evenly, then pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Cobbler Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the melted butter and whole milk, stirring just until the mixture is combined and smooth without overmixing.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir the batter into the peaches; it should sit on top to create a layered effect.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Peeling peaches can be made easier by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then shocking them in ice water.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches; just thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
- For a dairy-free option, replace whole milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
