-
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
- Baking powder: 1 1/2 teaspoons
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Butter: 6 tablespoons, melted
Optional Additions
- Vanilla extract: Add 1 teaspoon to the filling for added depth.
- Ground ginger: A pinch can enhance the warm spices in the cobbler.
- Crumble topping: Mix oats and brown sugar with butter for a crunchy texture.
- Ice cream or whipped cream: Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for a decadent touch.
Tips for Success
- Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are unavailable, canned or frozen peaches can be used.
- Ensure the topping batter is spread evenly over the filling for uniform baking.
- Preheat your oven for consistent results.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until smooth.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the topping evenly over the peach mixture. Spread gently with a spatula to cover most of the peaches.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
