Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups peaches, sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners and Binding Agents:
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Spices and Enhancers:
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a toasty 375°F (190°C) and grab your 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Slice 6 cups of fresh peaches into a large mixing bowl, then sprinkle ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup flour, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg over them. Gently toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Transfer the fragrant peach mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Whisk together 1 cup flour, ½ cup sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.
- Pour ½ cup milk into the dry ingredients and stir until the batter just comes together. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are perfect.
- Carefully pour the batter over the peaches, aiming to cover most of the fruit without completely sealing the edges.
- Melt ½ cup (1 stick) of butter and drizzle it evenly across the top of the batter. The butter will help create a golden, crispy surface.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You’re looking for a gorgeous golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving. This helps the juices settle and makes cutting easier.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness in your cobbler.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond or gluten-free baking flour to maintain the classic texture.
- Sprinkle a touch of raw sugar on top of the batter before baking to create a delightful crispy, caramelized crust.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to complement the warm, spiced peaches.
