Ingredients
Scale
For the Peach Filling:
- 5 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 4 cups or 600-700g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Batter:
- 6 tablespoons butter (85g)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk (180ml)
- Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: In a saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the peaches release their juices. Remove from heat and set aside. *(If using canned peaches, skip this step and drain the peaches before proceeding.)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the butter into pieces and place them in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish. Put the dish in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until just combined. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the cooked peaches and their juices over the batter. Sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 38-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Notes
Tips & Variations:
- Canned Peaches: Substitute fresh peaches with 1 quart of canned peaches (undrained). Skip cooking the filling and proceed to assemble the cobbler.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free flour blends like Cup4Cup or King Arthur Measure for Measure for a gluten-free version.
- Peach Prep: To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. The skins will slip off effortlessly.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Serving Suggestion: Top with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
