Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (peeled, pitted, and sliced) fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick, melted) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently and cook for 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the peaches start releasing their juices. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter, ensuring the juices are distributed across the dish. Do not mix.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve the peach cobbler warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
