Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 6 cups (about 6-7) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 lbs frozen, thawed)
- 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Topping
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
- 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
To Serve
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the whole milk and melted butter, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peach filling, leaving some areas of the peaches visible.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling hot. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the cobbler to set.
- Serve: Scoop the warm peach cobbler into bowls and top generously with vanilla ice cream for a perfect balance of warm and cold flavors.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to maintain texture after baking.
- If using frozen peaches, ensure they are thawed and drained to prevent excess liquid in the filling.
- You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free topping, but the texture may vary slightly.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly so it sets and is easier to serve.
- This cobbler is best enjoyed the same day but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
