Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Jersey peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut in the cubed cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the boiling water to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling, spreading slightly to cover most of the surface but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cobbler topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
