Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Mix Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir well until the peaches are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out uniformly.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the peach mixture to add richness and flavor.
- Prepare Batter Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients.
- Combine Batter: Gradually stir in the whole milk into the dry ingredients until a smooth and uniform batter forms.
- Top Peaches with Batter: Pour and spread the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish, covering the fruit mixture as best as possible.
- Add Brown Sugar Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar evenly over the batter layer to create a sweet, caramelized crust.
- Bake Cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cobbler’s top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Peeling peaches makes the cobbler smoother, but you can leave the skins on for extra texture if preferred.
- Ensure the peaches are juicy and ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Optional addition: Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a richer dessert experience.
