Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large fresh peaches
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, the lemon juice, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon to the bowl with the peaches. Toss everything together gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Transfer the peach mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, remaining 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Using your hands or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover most of the fruit (it’s okay if some peaches peek through).
Carefully pour the boiling water evenly over the batter. This will help create a golden, caramelized crust as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
