Peach Cobbler
Peach cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert made with juicy peaches and a golden, buttery topping that’s equal parts rustic and irresistible. It’s the kind of old-fashioned treat that brings back memories of summer afternoons and homemade goodness in every bite.
Ingredients
- For the peaches:
- 6 fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced (or use 2 cans, drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- For the batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the melted butter in a 9x13 baking dish and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Prepare the peach filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced peaches, both sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook for 5–7 minutes until bubbly and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Make the batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and stir until just combined.
- Assemble the cobbler:
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish—don’t stir! Spoon the warm peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, don’t stir—it will bake up beautifully.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until golden brown and the batter has risen to the top.
- Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
- Optional Add-Ins:
- A pinch of nutmeg for extra spice
- A splash of vanilla in the batter
- Use nectarines, plums, or a berry mix for variation
