Here’s a classic, old-fashioned peach cobbler recipe that’s simple, homey, and perfect for warm, juicy peaches:
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 6–8 fresh peaches (about 4 cups), peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch (for thickening)
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare peaches: In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit 10–15 minutes to macerate.
- Prepare baking dish: Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make topping: In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until just combined.
- Assemble cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
- Bake: 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Cool & serve: Let cobbler cool slightly before serving. Delicious with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
