Ingredients
Scale
Fruit:
- 4 cups peaches, sliced
Supporting Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Sweet and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Warm your oven to a precise 350°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even heating.
- Tumble 4 cups of fresh, ripe peach slices into a mixing bowl, then shower them with ½ cup sugar and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon on top. Gently fold the ingredients to coat your peaches evenly.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
- Pour 1 cup of milk and ½ cup melted butter into your dry ingredients, stirring until your batter transforms into a silky, smooth consistency with no lumpy patches.
- Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, then carefully pour your velvety batter across the bottom, spreading it into an even layer.
- Elegantly cascade your seasoned peach mixture across the top of the batter, allowing the fruit to nestle gently into the soft base.
- Slide the baking dish into your preheated oven and bake for exactly 45-50 minutes, watching for a gorgeous golden-brown surface that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove your cobbler and let it rest for 15 minutes, allowing the bubbling fruit and tender crust to settle and become more manageable for serving.
Notes
- Select ripe, juicy peaches for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness in your cobbler.
- When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing to keep the texture light and tender.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free baking blend.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate this classic Southern dessert.
