Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Filling
- 6–8 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup (5 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Peel the fresh peaches using boiling water for an easy peel, then slice them into even wedges. Toss the slices with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Let them macerate to develop rich flavors.
- Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring gently just until combined to form a smooth, thick batter. Avoid overmixing.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Evenly spread the peach mixture over the top without stirring; the peaches will bubble through the batter during baking.
- Bake until golden: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. The aroma will signal when it’s ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches that are slightly soft for best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping light and fluffy.
- Slice peaches evenly to ensure uniform cooking and avoid soggy or undercooked parts.
- Use real butter to achieve the richest flavor and a beautifully golden crust.
- Serve peach cobbler warm, fresh from the oven or gently reheated for best taste.
