Ingredients
For the peach filling:
- 5–6 fresh peaches (peeled, sliced) or 3 cups canned peaches (drained)
- ¾ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)
For the cobbler topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the peaches
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir well and pour into a greased baking dish.
Step 2: Make the batter
In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3: Assemble the cobbler
Pour the melted butter evenly into the baking dish over the peaches. Then gently pour the batter over the top. Do not stir—this layering helps create the cobbler texture as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 5: Cool slightly and serve
Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to thicken slightly.
