Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base:
- 5 cups peaches (sliced, fresh or canned)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine sliced peaches (5 cups) with ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Gently toss until peaches are evenly coated.
- Transfer the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Pour ½ cup milk and ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter forms a soft, slightly lumpy consistency.
- Use a large spoon to drop dollops of batter across the peach filling. The topping will not completely cover the fruit, which creates a rustic appearance.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 38-42 minutes, until the top turns golden brown and the peach filling starts bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
Notes
- Fresh, ripe peaches are key to an amazing cobbler with deep, sweet flavor.
- Mix the topping ingredients gently to keep the batter light and tender, avoiding overmixing.
- Frozen peaches work perfectly if fresh aren’t available, just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend and check baking powder ingredients.
