Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups peaches
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
Instructions
- Melt ½ cup unsalted butter directly in a 9×13-inch baking dish inside a 375°F oven for exactly 5 minutes, creating a golden pool of richness.
- Grab a mixing bowl and combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt with a whisk until perfectly blended.
- Pour 1 cup milk into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter just comes together without overworking the mixture.
- Remove the butter-filled baking dish from the oven and carefully pour the prepared batter directly over the melted butter, allowing them to naturally swirl without stirring.
- In a separate bowl, toss 4 cups of peach slices with 1 cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon until each slice glistens with sweet spice.
- Distribute the seasoned peach slices evenly across the batter, letting them sink slightly into the surface without mixing.
- Return the baking dish to the 375°F oven and bake for 45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown crust and bubbling edges that signal perfect doneness.
- After removing from the oven, let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes, allowing the layers to settle and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Check peach ripeness by gently squeezing them for slight softness and sweet aroma before using in the cobbler.
- Room temperature ingredients help create a smoother, more even batter when mixing flour, sugar, and milk.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend to maintain the same texture.
- Fresh summer peaches work best, but frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained completely to prevent excess moisture in the cobbler.
