Peach Cobbler Recipe
This peach cobbler recipe is warm, sweet, and buttery with juicy peaches and a golden topping. Perfect with vanilla ice cream any time of year.
Ingredients
- For the Filling:
- 6 cups fresh peaches or frozen, thawed, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg optional
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional for Serving:
- Scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Prep the Peaches: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine peaches, brown sugar, white sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss to coat.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Pour the peach mixture into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.
- Make the Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until a thick batter forms.
- Assemble: Spoon the batter evenly over the peach mixture. It won’t cover completely but will spread as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate finish.
Notes
- If using canned peaches, drain them well and reduce sugar slightly.
- Don’t skip the cornstarch—it thickens the filling.
- Ripe peaches provide the best flavor.
- Spoon topping instead of spreading it—this gives the best rustic texture.
- Letting the cobbler rest helps it set before serving.
