  • Total Time: 55-60 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: ground cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and slicing your peaches. Combine the sliced peaches with sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Toss gently to coat evenly and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy but smooth enough to spread.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread the batter evenly over the peaches. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top if desired.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  5. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an irresistible dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh peaches for the best flavor, but canned peaches can be substituted—drain excess syrup before use.
  • Add cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor profile.
  • Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month.
