Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar. Gently toss to coat the peaches evenly and set aside to allow the sugar to draw out the juices.
  2. Make the batter: In another bowl, mix together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk slowly until batter is smooth and combined.
  3. Layer peaches and batter: Pour the melted butter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour the batter over the melted butter, but do not stir. Spoon the sugared peaches evenly over the batter. The butter will rise up around the batter as it bakes, creating a crisp crust.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cobbler uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling through the topping.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
  • Peeling peaches is optional but recommended for a smoother texture.
  • You can substitute frozen peaches, just thaw and drain excess juice before using.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for extra warm flavor.
  • Ensure the melted butter is poured first to help create the classic cobbler crust.
