Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 6–8 fresh ripe peaches, peeled, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup milk (or almond/oat milk for vegan)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice fresh peaches, then toss them in a large bowl with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let the mixture sit to meld the flavors while preparing the topping.
- Mix the Batter: In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until smooth, being careful not to overmix—some lumps are fine for a tender crust.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Grease a baking dish and pour the batter evenly into it. Spoon the peach filling over the batter without stirring to allow the topping to rise around the fruit as it bakes.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cobbler for 35–40 minutes until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes to thicken the filling slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches for the best juicy, vibrant flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender, flaky crust.
- Adjust sugar in the filling to your preferred sweetness after tasting the peaches.
- Use good-quality unsalted butter for the richest flavor.
- Let the cobbler rest before serving to allow the filling to thicken.
