Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6-8 medium peaches)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat peaches evenly. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the peach mixture. Do not spread it out; it will spread during baking.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. This cobbler can also be made with frozen peaches—just thaw and drain them first.
