Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups peaches, sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Gently mix and let sit for 10 minutes to allow peaches to release their natural juices.
- Crush the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into coarse crumbs using a food processor or by placing in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Add milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the prepared peaches into the greased baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the batter over the peaches, ensuring it covers most of the fruit but does not completely seal the top.
- Sprinkle crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal over the top of the batter for added crunch and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Optionally, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Fruit Selection: Choose ripe, but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. If fresh peaches aren't in season, high-quality frozen peaches work great too!
- Cereal Crushing Hack: For the perfect crunch, crush the Cinnamon Toast Crunch just before adding to ensure maximum texture and flavor.
- Even Baking: Make sure to spread the batter and peaches evenly in the baking dish for consistent cooking and the perfect golden-brown top.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra indulgent experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the cobbler up to a day in advance and reheat in the oven for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Customize: Feel free to add a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg to enhance the warm, comforting flavors.
