Ingredients (Serves 6-8)

For the Peaches

  • 6 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (about 4-5 medium-sized peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning if using fresh peaches)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Peaches

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
  2. If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into thin wedges. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, ½ cup of sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently until the peaches are evenly coated.

Step 2: Assemble the Cobbler

  1. Pour the sugared peaches into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined—don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  1. Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches. Don't worry if it doesn't completely cover the fruit—it will bubble up beautifully as it bakes.
  2. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling around the edges.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly.
  2. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra decadent experience.
