Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine:
- Peaches
- Sugar
- Lemon juice
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Cornstarch
Mix until evenly coated.
Pour into a lightly greased baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In another bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Salt
Slowly add the milk and stir until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble
Pour the melted butter into the baking dish.
Carefully spoon the batter over the butter.
Add the peach mixture on top.
Do not stir.
During baking, the batter rises around the fruit, creating the signature cobbler texture.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until:
- The top is golden brown
- The filling is bubbling
- The crust is cooked through
Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Peach cobbler is delicious on its own, but it’s even better with:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh whipped cream
- Caramel drizzle
- A sprinkle of cinnamon
The contrast between warm cobbler and cold ice cream is especially irresistible.
Tips for the Best Cobbler
Use Ripe Peaches
Fresh ripe peaches provide the sweetest flavor.
Don’t Overmix
A gentle stir keeps the topping tender.
Let It Rest
Allowing the cobbler to cool slightly helps the filling thicken.
Add Extra Spice
A pinch of nutmeg can add extra warmth and depth.
Storage
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To reheat:
- Microwave individual portions
- Or warm in a 300°F oven until heated through
