Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and melted unsalted butter into the dry mixture to form a smooth batter.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the batter evenly into a 9×13 inch baking dish as the base for the cobbler.
- Add Peaches: Arrange the sliced fresh peaches evenly over the batter layer in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle Sugar: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar over the top of the peaches to create a sweet, crunchy topping once baked.
- Bake: Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the peach cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to set and make it easier to serve.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and flavor.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches if fresh are out of season; just thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
- If a thicker topping is desired, reduce the milk slightly to make a denser batter.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
