Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (about 5–6 peaches)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided: ¾ cup for batter, ¼ cup for peaches)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash, pit, and slice the peaches. No need to peel them unless preferred.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour melted butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Tilt the dish to ensure the butter coats the entire bottom.
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, ¾ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined. The batter will be thin—this is perfect!
- Layer the Magic: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir!
- Add the Peach Layer: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peaches with the remaining ¼ cup sugar, cinnamon, optional nutmeg, and lemon juice. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir!
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. This lets the juices thicken slightly and prevents burnt tongues!
Notes
For extra-juicy results, choose ripe peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure. Resist the urge to stir after layering—the baking process creates the magical self-forming crust. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
