Description
A classic Southern peach cobbler with juicy spiced peaches and a rich, buttery batter that rises to form a golden, cake-like crust. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 6–8 ripe Georgia peaches, peeled and sliced
- ¾ cup sugar (divided)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the peaches: Toss sliced peaches with ½ cup sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out the juices.
- Prepare the baking dish: Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly across the bottom.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, remaining ¼ cup sugar, and milk until just combined.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter — do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture on top of the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and set and the edges are bubbling.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For extra crisp edges, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before baking. You can substitute frozen or canned peaches (drained) if fresh aren’t available.
