Perfect when served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, this cobbler is a comforting treat that brings the essence of peach season to your table.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Place the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the preheated oven. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and milk. Stir until just combined to form the batter. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the cooked peaches and syrup evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir. The batter will rise to the top as it bakes and creates a cobbler topping.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top to add a touch of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the batter has risen to form a crust.
Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
