🛒 Ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional:
- Extra cinnamon sugar for sprinkling
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or deep pie dish. - Make the peach filling
In a large bowl, combine the peaches with both sugars, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir well until the peaches are evenly coated. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the juices to develop. - Cook the filling (optional but recommended)
Pour the peach mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. This step intensifies the flavor and ensures a luscious, syrupy base. - Prepare the batter
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until smooth. Pour in the melted butter and mix until just combined — don’t overmix. - Assemble the cobbler
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. It may look messy, but trust the process — the batter will rise and envelop the peaches beautifully. - Add a finishing touch
Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top for extra sparkle and crunch. - Bake to golden perfection
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. - Serve and swoon
Scoop into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Brace yourself — it’ll be gone in minutes.
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Sugar-free version: Use stevia or monk fruit sweetener and skip the brown sugar.
- Tropical twist: Add mango or pineapple chunks to the peach filling.
- Party-ready: Bake in individual ramekins for elegant single servings.
- Make ahead: Prepare the filling and batter separately, then assemble and bake just before serving.
