Description

Golden crust yields to tender peaches spiced with cinnamon and vanilla, their sweet juices bubbling into a buttery batter, creating a lusciously warm cobbler best enjoyed fresh from the oven.


Ingredients

  • 6 cups sliced ripe peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and place butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish to melt.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  3. Pour melted butter into the bottom of the baking dish and swirl to coat evenly.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Stir in milk until just combined to form the batter.
  6. Pour batter over the melted butter without stirring.
  7. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter; do not stir.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 10 minutes before serving to thicken.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for the milk.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
