Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 6 fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced, about 5 cups)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare the Peach Filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Stir carefully to mix and set aside to allow juices to develop.
- Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla extract and stir just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Without stirring, pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Then spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter, again without stirring to maintain distinct layers.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- You can substitute frozen or canned peaches (drained) if fresh peaches aren’t available.
- For added crunch and a sparkling top, sprinkle coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
