Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Toss gently to coat the peaches evenly and set aside.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Pour in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 3/4 cup whole milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined into a thick batter — do not overmix.
- Step 3: Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches, spreading gently to cover.
- Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp brown sugar evenly over the top to help the biscuit topping caramelize.
- Step 5: Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping comes out clean.
- Step 6: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
