Best Peach Cobbler Ever Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 6-8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups) or 4 cups canned peaches, drained
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
For the Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Topping:
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Peaches:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the peaches evenly. Set aside.
- Make the Batter:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Spoon the peach mixture (including the juices) over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise up around the peaches as it bakes.
- Add the Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with the 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the peaches and batter.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling. A toothpick inserted into the batter should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling to set.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of white and yellow peaches.
- If fresh peaches are out of season, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw and drain them well before using.
- Adding a splash of bourbon or amaretto to the peach mixture can enhance the flavor.
