In this article, we’ll guide you through a simple and delicious peach cobbler recipe.
Ingredients
To prepare this delicious peach cobbler, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Peach Filling:
6-8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups of canned or frozen peaches)
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons of cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Cobbler Crust:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of whole milk
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Prepare the Peaches:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. If you prefer a thicker filling, add the cornstarch and mix well.
Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cobbler Crust:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish. Do not stir; the batter will rise to the top as it bakes.
Bake the Cobbler:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the peach cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
Tips and Variations
Fruit Variations: Substitute or add other fruits such as berries, apples, or pears for a different flavor.
Spiced Crust: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cobbler batter for an extra layer of flavor.
Crispy Topping: Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon sugar over the batter before baking for a crunchy, sweet topping.
