Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or use drained canned peaches)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
For the batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Peaches: In a large bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Stir to coat.
- Melt Butter: Place the stick of butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven for a few minutes to melt the butter—watch it so it doesn’t burn!
- Make Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and vanilla, whisk until smooth.
- Assemble Cobbler: Remove the baking dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the butter—do not stir. Spoon the peaches and their juices evenly over the batter—again, do not stir. The batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.
- Bake: Bake for about 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream!
