Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches with 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice, tossing gently to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir in 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter and 1/2 cup whole milk until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
3. Step 3: Pour the peach mixture evenly into a 9-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peaches, spacing evenly but leaving some fruit exposed.
4. Step 4: Mix 2 tbsp granulated sugar with 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and sprinkle the mixture generously over the batter dollops.
5. Step 5: Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
