Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 8-10 peaches)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Prepare the Peaches
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined. The batter will be thick.
4. Assemble the Cobbler
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, spreading it gently to cover as much of the fruit as possible. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect—the rustic look adds to the charm!
5. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges.
6. Serve Warm
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Expert Tips
- Peach Selection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can substitute with frozen peaches—just thaw and drain them first.
- Spice It Up: For a little extra warmth, add a pinch of ginger or cardamom to the peach mixture.
- Make Ahead: You can assemble the cobbler ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if it’s cold.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
FAQ
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well and reduce the sugar slightly, as canned peaches are often sweeter.
Can I freeze peach cobbler?
Absolutely! Bake the cobbler as directed, let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
What’s the best way to peel peaches?
To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slip right off!
