Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss 5 cups sliced fresh peaches with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until evenly coated; transfer to a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt; cut in 1/2 cup cold diced unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 3: Stir in 1/3 cup whole milk gently to form a thick batter; dollop spoonfuls of this crumble topping over the peach mixture to cover evenly.
- Step 4: Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly and fragrant.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
