Scale

Peach Mixture

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
  2. Prepare Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced fresh peaches with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix everything well to evenly coat the peaches and set aside, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Make Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and milk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Add Butter to Dish: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly into the bottom of your baking dish, ensuring it covers the surface completely to create a rich base for the batter.
  5. Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Then carefully spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter without stirring, allowing the topping to bake into a delicious contrast of textures.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbly, signaling that the cobbler is fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the peach cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow it to set and enhance its flavors. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe peaches for the best flavor; canned peaches can be used in a pinch but adjust sugar accordingly.
  • Do not stir the batter and peaches together; the typical cobbler texture relies on the batter rising through the fruit as it bakes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra-special dessert.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
