🍑 Classic Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 6–8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  (or use 2 cans of sliced peaches in juice, drained, or 1 bag of frozen peaches, thawed)

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tsp cornstarch (for thickening)

For the batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 cup milk

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the peaches:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch.

   • Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is bubbly and slightly thickened.

   • Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Make the batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   • Stir in the milk until just combined.

4. Assemble the cobbler:

   • Pour melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.

   • Pour the batter evenly over the butter (do not stir).

   • Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter (again, do not stir — it will bake up beautifully layered).

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the batter has risen up around the peaches.

6. Cool slightly and serve:

   • Let cool for about 10–15 minutes before serving.

   • Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

🍽️ Tips:

• Fresh peaches are best in season, but frozen or canned work great too.

• For extra texture, sprinkle a little turbinado sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

• Want a crispier top? Use slightly less milk (about 3/4 cup).
