Ingredients
- Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced: 6 cups
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons for peaches
- Baking powder: 2 teaspoons
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Unsalted butter, melted: 1/2 cup
- Ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Step 3: Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish. Arrange the sugared peach slices evenly over the batter.
- Step 5: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
- Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover cobbler in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered tightly, to maintain the fruit's moisture.
- For a warm, comforting treat, reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or in a 350°F oven until heated through.
- A dollop of vanilla bean ice cream perfectly complements the warm, juicy peaches and golden crust.
- Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay for a tender, biscuit-like topping that won't be tough.
