Fresh Peach Cobbler
There is something so comforting about a warm peach cobbler bubbling away in the oven, especially when fresh peaches are at their sweetest. This one feels homey, simple, and full of old fashioned flavor, with a golden topping that soaks up every bit of juicy fruit.
Equipment
- 1 Baking Dish
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 4 salt pinch
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease your baking dish. Toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of the sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon until the fruit looks glossy and well coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and alcohol-free vanilla until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the batter evenly over the top, letting it spread as it bakes.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges. Let it rest for a few minutes so the filling sets slightly before serving.
Notes
Use ripe but still firm peaches so they hold their shape while baking. If your fruit is extra juicy, add a little more cornstarch to keep the filling from getting too loose. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
