Description
A classic peach cobbler with a warm spiced fruit base and a tender biscuit-style topping. Perfect for summer desserts or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Fruit Base:
- 5–6 peaches (fresh, peeled and sliced, or canned/frozen)
- ½ cup sugar (white or brown)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or flour
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted or cold)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the peaches: Mix sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer briefly on the stovetop or let sit until syrupy.
- Make the topping: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add melted butter and milk (and vanilla if using), and stir gently until a batter forms.
- Assemble: Pour peach mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of batter over the peaches without spreading.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling.
- Cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Optional: serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
This cobbler works well with canned or frozen peaches. For extra texture, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before baking.
