  • Total Time: 60-65 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Peach Mixture

  • 6–8 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Cobbler Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for vegan version)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil/vegan margarine for vegan version)
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice 6-8 ripe peaches. Toss them with ½ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon if desired. Set aside to macerate while preparing the batter.
  2. Mix the Cobbler Batter: In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir in 1 cup milk and ½ cup melted butter until smooth and just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter without stirring; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
  4. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and peaches are bubbling.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly to thicken the juices. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender and light.
  • Use high-quality butter for richer crust and a golden color.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick – crust is done when golden and toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cobbler rest a few minutes before serving to thicken peach juices.
