Ingredients
For the Filling:
6–8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups canned peaches, drained)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional:
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
Mix well, ensuring the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: Make the Topping
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter evenly over the peach mixture, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed.
Step 5: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
Step 6: Serve
Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
