Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups sliced peaches fresh, canned, or frozen
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Large bowl
  • small bowl
  • whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Oven
  • knife
  • Cutting board
  • Vegetable peeler (optional)
  • Ice bath (optional, for peeling fresh peaches)
  • Toothpick

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the peach filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice (if using). Ensure the peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Pour the peach filling into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the peaches evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  4. Make the cobbler topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
  5. Add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don't overmix! A few lumps are okay.
  6. Pour the melted butter over the batter and stir gently until just incorporated. The batter will be thin.
  7. Pour the cobbler topping evenly over the peach filling. Don't worry if it looks like it's sinking into the peaches – that's perfectly normal.
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the topping should come out clean.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. This allows the filling to thicken a bit and prevents you from burning your tongue!
  10. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, but firm peaches. If using canned peaches, drain them well and reduce the sugar in the filling. Don't overmix the cobbler topping to ensure a tender crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. Consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to the peach filling for a warm, spicy flavor.
