Description
Sweet peach filling melds with vanilla and cinnamon, nestled beneath a golden, buttery batter studded with coarse sugar for crackling bites. Warm from the oven, each spoonful oozes juicy fruit and rich, comforting flavors.
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar for filling
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar for batter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish to melt while the oven heats.
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar for filling, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; toss gently to coat.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar for batter, baking powder, and salt; stir in milk until just combined.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and pour the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring.
- Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter; do not stir to allow the batter to rise around the fruit.
- Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top for a crisp finish.
- Bake until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbling, about 40 to 45 minutes.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to set.
Notes
- For best results use ripe, but still firm, fresh peaches
- Avoid mixing layers once assembled to achieve a traditional “cobbled” texture
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving
