Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 whisk
- 1 peeler
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced About 8 medium peaches.
- 1 cup granulated sugar Divide into ½ cup for peaches and ½ cup for batter.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with ½ cup of sugar. If desired, add the cinnamon. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to release the juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, remaining sugar (½ cup), and salt.
- Stir in the milk and melted butter into the flour mixture until just combined, creating a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Do not stir; it will create a base for the cobbler.
- Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter, ensuring to distribute the peaches evenly and allow the juices to flow over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, either plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches you are using.
For an extra twist, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter or a pinch of nutmeg for additional warmth.
This cobbler is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
