Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base:
- 4 cups peaches
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup sweet butter
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter, ensuring complete coverage.
- Layer 4 cups of peeled, thickly sliced peaches in the dish. Scatter ½ cup sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla over the fruit. Toss gently to combine.
- Roast the peaches at 400°F for 20 minutes until tender and juices start bubbling.
- Sift 1½ cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Cut ⅓ cup chilled butter into small cubes. Work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk 1 egg with ¼ cup milk. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until a thick batter forms.
- Pull the hot peaches from the oven. Dollop the batter in large, even spoonfuls across the fruit.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the dough. Return to the 400°F oven.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until the dough puffs up and turns golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness in your cobbler.
- Work quickly when adding the dough to the hot peaches to maintain the temperature and ensure even baking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking mix.
- Adjust the sugar depending on the ripeness of your peaches, tasting the fruit before adding the initial sugar to balance sweetness.
