Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced (can substitute with canned peaches)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and optional cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to coat the peaches evenly and set the mixture aside to develop flavor.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the next steps.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined to form the batter for the topping.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a baking dish with butter. Pour the peach filling evenly into the dish. Then spoon or dollop the batter over the peaches, covering them as much as possible.
- Bake: Place the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Using fresh peaches adds natural sweetness, but canned peaches are a convenient alternative.
- Sugar quantity can be adjusted depending on the sweetness of your peaches.
- Cornstarch helps thicken the peach filling and prevents it from becoming too runny.
- Adding cinnamon is optional but adds a warm flavor that complements peaches well.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
