Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or frozen peaches, thawed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
  3. Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, distributing it evenly.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
  7. Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches. You can add a crunchy topping like rolled oats or chopped nuts for extra texture. The cobbler can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
