Ingredients
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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
