Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 4 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned)
  2. 1 cup sugar
  3. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  4. 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  5. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  7. 1/2 cup butter, melted
  8. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  9. 1 cup milk
  10. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  11. 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently mix until the peaches are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
  3. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
  6. Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. The batter will begin to rise around the edges during baking.
  7. Spoon the prepared peach mixture evenly over the batter, distributing the peaches and their juices across the top.
  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the filling to set and makes serving easier.
  10. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips

  1. Choose ripe, high-quality peaches for the most intense flavor. If using canned peaches, drain them well to prevent excess liquid.
  2. Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are perfectly fine and will contribute to a tender texture.
  3. For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the peach mixture or sprinkling some raw sugar on top before baking for a crunchy caramelized finish.
  4. Serve the cobbler warm for the best experience, but if you prefer, it tastes amazing at room temperature too.
  5. For a more decadent dessert, pair with high-quality vanilla bean ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
  6. If you're using fresh peaches, blanch them briefly to remove the skin easily before slicing.
  7. Check the cobbler around the 35-minute mark to prevent over-browning. Every oven is slightly different, so keep an eye on the color.
