Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups peaches (fresh sliced, or 2 (15 oz) cans drained, or 1 (32 oz) bag frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust for sweetness of peaches)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Fruit Mixture: Toss sliced peaches with granulated and brown sugars, then infuse with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice for depth of flavor. Dust with cornstarch to ensure a thick, glossy filling.
- Cobbler Topping: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Blend in melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until a smooth, silky batter emerges.
- Assembly: Spread the seasoned peaches evenly in the prepared baking dish, then gently pour the batter over the fruit, allowing it to naturally distribute without disrupting the peach layer.
- Baking: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the top achieves a rich, golden-brown crust with crisp edges.
- Serving: Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set. Plate with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cloud of whipped cream for a decadent finishing touch.
Notes
- Optimize Fruit Selection: Choose ripe, fragrant peaches at peak summer season for maximum natural sweetness and juiciness.
- Control Moisture Levels: Drain excess liquid from peaches to prevent a soggy cobbler bottom and ensure a perfectly crisp topping.
- Customize Spice Blend: Experiment with cardamom or ginger alongside cinnamon to create unique flavor dimensions while maintaining classic cobbler essence.
- Achieve Perfect Texture: Use cold butter when mixing topping ingredients to create flakier, more tender cobbler crust that breaks beautifully when served.
