- Buttery biscuit topping: Crisp and tender with a slight crunch.
- Perfectly balanced sweetness: Just enough sugar to complement the peaches.
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6–8 peaches)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside to macerate while preparing the batter.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter and milk until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir—the batter will rise up around the peaches as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the peach filling is bubbly.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor.
- If fresh peaches aren’t available, frozen sliced peaches (thawed) work well too.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
- Let the cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving to let the juices thicken.
