Ingredients You'll Need:
This recipe uses readily available ingredients, making it perfect for a quick bake.
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (about 6-8 medium peaches)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
Follow these simple steps to create the perfect peach cobbler:
Preparing the Peach Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced peaches, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix until the peaches are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Making the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until just combined. Don't overmix.
Assembling and Baking the Cobbler:
- Spoon the topping evenly over the peach filling.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler:
- Use ripe, but not overripe, peaches: Overripe peaches will make the filling too mushy.
- Don't overmix the topping: Overmixing will result in a tough topping.
- Let it cool slightly: This allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
- Get creative with variations: Try adding a sprinkle of almond slivers to the topping, or a dash of vanilla extract to the filling. You can even experiment with other fruits!
Serving Suggestions:
This peach cobbler is delicious on its own, but it's even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
