Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
- Prepare the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until just combined.
3. Assemble and Bake:
- Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Drop the cobbler topping by spoonfuls over the peach mixture.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the peach mixture.
- If fresh peaches are not available, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- For a crispier topping, use cold butter and mix it in quickly.
