Ingredients
- 8 (about 2 pounds) fresh peaches, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter and set aside.
- Arrange the peach slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of sugar and set aside. If the peaches are very soft and juicy, toss them with a tablespoon of cornstarch to help thicken the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Melt the butter, then whisk in the vanilla. Pour the butter mixture over the flour mixture and stir until everything is incorporated and the batter is moist. It will resemble a cookie batter.
- Using your hands, sprinkle the batter over the peaches.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned on top and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
Substitute canned or frozen peaches (thaw and drain well) if fresh are unavailable. Gluten-free flour can replace regular flour for a gluten-free version. Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating the unbaked cobbler for up to 12 hours; bake when ready. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days—reheat gently before serving. For a thicker filling, always add cornstarch if peaches are extra juicy, and use a toothpick to check if the topping is cooked through.
