Appliances and Special Utensils
- Oven
- 9×13-inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Saucepan (optional, for melting butter)
Ingredients
- For the filling:
- 5-6 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, 1 cup of granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the peaches evenly. Set aside.
-
Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Make Batter: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the milk, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
-
Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir; the batter will rise around the peaches as it bakes.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
