Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 4 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice about four cups of fresh peaches. Toss them with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of vanilla extract. Let this mixture rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the peaches to macerate.
  2. Make the Topping Batter: In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter and milk until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and tender.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish. Spoon the batter over the peaches in dollops, leaving some peach filling visible for the classic cobbler appearance.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling around the edges.

Notes

  • Let peaches macerate with sugar to enhance sweetness and juiciness.
  • Mix batter just until combined to avoid a dense topping.
  • Use a deep 9×9 inch baking dish to prevent overflow and promote even baking.
  • If topping browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil and continue baking.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving for cleaner slices.
  • Use canned peaches by draining excess liquid and adjusting sugar as needed.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking mix.
  • For vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Add toasted nuts or mix berries for variation.
