Scale
Peach Filling
- 5 peaches, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 4 cups or 600-700 g)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Batter
- 6 Tablespoons butter (85 g)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk (180 ml)
Topping
- Ground cinnamon, as desired
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Add the sliced peaches, sugar, and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. Cook on medium heat for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the peaches release their juices. Remove from heat and set aside. (If using canned peaches, skip to step 3.)
- Preheat Oven and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the butter into pieces and add them to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the dish in the oven while it preheats to allow the butter to melt completely. When fully melted, carefully remove the dish from the oven.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk just until the batter is combined, avoiding overmixing to keep it tender.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, smoothing it out into an even layer. Spoon the peach mixture along with its juices (or canned peaches and their juice) evenly over the batter. Sprinkle a generous amount of ground cinnamon on top for added flavor.
- Bake: Place the assembled cobbler in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 38-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the batter is cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
Notes
- If using canned peaches, skip the stovetop cooking step and add peaches and juice directly over the batter.
- For best results, use ripe, in-season peaches for natural sweetness and flavor.
- Butter should be fully melted before adding the batter to ensure a rich base texture.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic finish.
