Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base:
- 6 to 7 ripe peaches
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet and Finishing Ingredients:
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter
- ¼ cup boiling water
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
Instructions
- Combine 6 to 7 sliced peaches with ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Gently toss until peaches are evenly coated.
- Grab another bowl and mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt together.
- Add ½ cup cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to pinch and crumble the butter until the mixture looks like rough breadcrumbs.
- Pour ¼ cup boiling water into the butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix the batter.
- Transfer the peach mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the dough on top of the peaches, covering most of the surface but leaving some small gaps.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon coarse sugar over the dough for extra crunch and shine.
- Place the dish in a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake for 42-45 minutes until the top turns golden and the peach filling bubbles around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set and prevents burning your mouth.
Notes
- Select ripe, juicy peaches for the most flavorful filling and best texture in your cobbler.
- Don’t overmix the cobbler topping, as this can make the crust tough instead of tender and crisp.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour or a certified gluten-free baking mix.
- Sprinkle a bit of turbinado or raw sugar on top just before baking to create an extra-crunchy, sparkling crust.
