Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches (or canned, drained)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into thin wedges. If using canned peaches, drain them thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peaches, 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, light brown sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, remaining 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir the milk and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients until smooth, creating a batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. DO NOT STIR.
Spoon the peach mixture evenly on top of the batter. Again, DO NOT STIR. The batter will rise around the peaches during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
