Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (peeled and sliced) fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir well.
Cook the peach mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it begins to thicken, then remove from heat and set aside.
Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while it preheats. Remove once melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Spoon the cooked peach mixture evenly over the batter. The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
