Ingredients
Scale
Peach Mixture
- 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter (for dotting on top)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Peach Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the sliced fresh peaches with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, mixing gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Add Peaches to Dish: Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish to form the base of the cobbler.
- Make Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and milk until smooth to create the batter.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the baking dish without stirring, allowing the batter to sit on top.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the batter with small pieces of butter to enrich the flavor and create a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is puffed up and golden brown.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving to allow juices to thicken.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- You can substitute frozen peaches if fresh are not in season; just thaw and drain excess liquid.
- To make it dairy-free, use a plant-based milk and vegan butter alternative.
