Description
This cobbler layers tender, cinnamon-kissed peach slices under spoonfuls of nutty brown butter batter that bakes into a crisp, golden topping. Warm fruit juices bubble around every nugget of buttery crust, perfect with creamy ice cream.
Ingredients
- 6 medium peaches peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small skillet melt the butter over medium heat and cook until it foams and turns golden brown, about 3–4 minutes, then remove from heat.
- In a bowl combine peaches, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, tossing to coat evenly.
- Transfer the peach mixture to a greased baking dish.
- In another bowl whisk together flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir the browned butter, egg, and milk into the dry ingredients until just combined to form the batter.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the peaches, gently spreading to cover most of the fruit.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the topping is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
- Frozen peaches can be used if fresh are not available; thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Browning the butter adds a rich, nutty depth to the topping.
