Peach Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 6-8 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups canned/frozen peaches, drained)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of peaches)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tbsp cornstarch (if using fresh or frozen peaches)

For the Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized skillet.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and cornstarch.
   • Toss until the peaches are well-coated and the cornstarch is dissolved.
   • Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Make the Topping:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
   • Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
   • Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. It will spread out as it bakes, so no need to smooth it over the fruit completely.
   • Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or sugar on top for added flavor and texture.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
   • The filling should be bubbling around the edges.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cobbler cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
   • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
