Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish greased
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 electric mixer
Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the peaches are coated in sugar and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This forms the base of your cobbler batter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Pour the peach mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spoon the cobbler batter over the peaches, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken and the flavors to fully develop.
Serving
- Serve the peach cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a classic Southern treat.
Storage
- Cover any leftover cobbler and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the oven before serving.
