Ingredients:
4 cups sliced fresh peaches (or canned peaches in syrup, drained)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour
cup milk
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, for added spice)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Peaches:
In a medium saucepan, combine the peaches, half of the granulated sugar, and a dash of cinnamon if desired.
Cook over medium heat until the peaches are soft and the sugar has dissolved, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Make the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
Carefully pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, then pour the batter over the butter without mixing.
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
Spoon the peach mixture over the batter in the baking dish.
Do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes, creating a layered effect.
5. Bake the Cobbler:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the batter is fully set.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
