Description
A classic Southern peach cobbler featuring juicy cinnamon-kissed peaches baked beneath a buttery golden crust. This comforting dessert is simple to prepare and perfect for family gatherings or cozy evenings.
Ingredients
6 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups frozen peaches, thawed)
1 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
- Pour the melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk just until a smooth batter forms without overmixing.
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter without stirring.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
You can substitute frozen or canned peaches (well-drained) if fresh peaches are unavailable.
Do not stir the batter and peaches together; the batter will rise around the fruit while baking.
For added flavor, try mixing in blueberries or raspberries.
Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchier crust.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze baked cobbler for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before reheating.
