Here’s a classic recipe for Grandma’s Timeless Peach Cobbler—comforting, sweet, and perfect for any occasion:
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 6–8 fresh peaches (or about 4 cups sliced peaches, peeled)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (if using very juicy peaches)
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the peaches: Peel (if desired) and slice the peaches. Toss them with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch in a bowl. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to release their juices.
- Make the batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter—do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
This recipe has that classic, homey feel—just like Grandma would make!
If you want, I can also give you a shortcut version using canned peaches that’s just as delicious and faster to make. Do you want me to do that?
