Peach Cobbler with Vanilla Ice Cream 🍑🍨
This warm, comforting peach cobbler is the perfect dessert for any occasion. Serve it fresh out of the oven with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for an irresistible treat!
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/3 cup boiling water
Optional Garnish:
- Extra cinnamon for sprinkling
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Peach Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
- Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the boiling water until just combined.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peach mixture. Spread it out slightly, but it’s okay if some peaches peek through.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon over the top, if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake the cobbler for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve:
- Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls and top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- If using canned peaches, rinse and pat them dry to remove excess syrup.
- Add a splash of bourbon to the peach mixture for a rich flavor twist.
- For a crisper topping, sprinkle the dough with a little extra sugar before baking.
Enjoy this classic dessert that combines the juicy sweetness of peaches with the creamy indulgence of vanilla ice cream! 🍑🍨
