Ingredients

For the peach filling:

  • 6 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling

  • In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  • Mix well, then add cornstarch and stir until evenly coated.
  • Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the Crust

  • In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  • Slowly add the milk and mix until a dough forms.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

  • Roll out the dough and cut it into squares or strips.
  • Place the pieces of dough over the peaches, slightly overlapping.
  • Sprinkle the top with a tablespoon of sugar for extra sweetness.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!

Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler

  • Use fresh peaches for the best flavor, but canned peaches work too!
  • Add a little spice: Cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the peach flavor beautifully.
  • Don’t overmix the dough: Keeping it slightly crumbly makes for a flakier crust.
