Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 fresh peaches (peeled and sliced, or 2 cans of sliced peaches, drained)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth to make a batter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- In a saucepan, simmer peaches with remaining ½ cup sugar (and cinnamon/vanilla if using) for about 5 minutes.
- Spoon peaches and juice evenly over batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Fresh peaches taste best in summer, but canned peaches work year-round.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle brown sugar on top before baking.
- Cobbler can be reheated in the oven at 300°F for 10–15 minutes.
