Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium peaches (about 2 lbs) fresh peaches
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar ovenproof dish.
Wash, peel (if desired), and slice the fresh peaches into wedges, removing the pits. Transfer the slices to a medium bowl.
Add 1/3 cup of granulated sugar and the lemon juice to the peaches. Toss gently to coat, then set aside to allow the peaches to release their juices.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together.
Stir in the melted butter, low-fat milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom.
Spoon the peaches and their juice over the batter, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the dish with a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is lightly crisp.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to set slightly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
