Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh ripe peaches (or canned peaches, drained)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Peel, pit, and slice the peaches if fresh. In a large bowl, combine peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice. Toss gently and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and stir lightly until just combined.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter over the peaches, leaving gaps for filling to peek through.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use the freshest peaches for optimal flavor; canned peaches work well when peaches are out of season.
- Keep the butter cold for a flaky topping.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to enhance the spice profile.
- Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches.
