This classic peach cobbler recipe brings the perfect balance of juicy peaches and a buttery, golden crust. It’s simple, comforting, and guaranteed to remind you of those warm gatherings at Grandma’s house!
Ingredients:
- For the Filling:
- 6 fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced) or 6 cups canned peaches, drained
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
- For the Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Peach Filling:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes until the peaches start releasing their juices.
- Stir in the cornstarch and simmer for an additional 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in the milk and melted butter until you have a smooth batter.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the peach mixture over the batter. Don’t stir; the batter will rise as it bakes and form a beautiful crust.
- Bake:
- Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Pro Tip: If you want an extra-crispy crust, sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar on top of the cobbler before baking.
Enjoy this timeless dessert that tastes just like Grandma’s love in every bite! 🍑💕
