Ingredients
  

Peach Filling

  • 5 peaches peeled, cored, and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Cobbler Batter

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • Ground cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Add the sliced peaches, sugar, and salt to a saucepan and stir well.
  • Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the peaches release their juices. Remove from the heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it in the oven until completely melted.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring.
  • Spoon the peaches and their juices evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
  • Sprinkle generously with ground cinnamon.
  • Bake the Peach Cobbler for 38–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Notes

 

  • Canned peaches may be substituted; drain lightly before using.
  • Brown sugar can replace part of the white sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
  • Add vanilla extract or almond extract to the batter for extra richness.
  • Fresh whipped cream or caramel sauce also pair beautifully with this dessert
