Classic Peach Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 5–6 fresh peaches (or 4 cups canned peaches, drained)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For the crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the peaches:
In a bowl, mix peaches with sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir until everything is well coated. - Make the batter:
In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add in the milk and mix until smooth. - Assemble the cobbler:
Pour the melted butter into a baking dish. Add the batter evenly over the butter — do not stir. Then spoon the peach mixture on top. - Bake:
Place in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling. - Cool and serve:
Let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you want to take it to the next level.
So whether you’re baking from scratch or grabbing a slice from your favorite local spot, today is all about indulging in something sweet.
