For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced (or 2 (15-oz) cans, drained, or 1 (32-oz) bag frozen, thawed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness of peaches)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (to thicken the filling)
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a large bowl, mix sliced peaches, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Toss to coat evenly, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the batter evenly over the peaches (don’t mix it in—just let it spread naturally).
4. Bake Until Golden & Bubbly:
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
5. Serve & Enjoy:
- Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Fresh vs. Canned Peaches: Fresh peaches are best, but canned or frozen work great too. If using canned peaches, reduce sugar by 2-3 tbsp since they’re already sweetened.
- Want a crispier topping? Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of coarse sugar on top before baking.
- Add a crunch! Mix 1/4 cup chopped pecans into the topping for a nutty twist.
