Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh peaches
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges until you have approximately 6 cups.
In a large bowl, combine the peaches, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until the peaches are evenly coated and the sugars begin to dissolve.
Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish by placing it in the preheated oven. Once melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to create a batter. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the peach mixture evenly on top of the batter. As it bakes, the batter will rise to the top to form a crust.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling at the edges.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
