Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 6 tbsp butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, toss 5 cups sliced fresh peaches with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until peaches are evenly coated.
- Step 2: Transfer the peach mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
- Step 4: Cut 6 tbsp cold cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Step 5: Stir in 1/3 cup milk just until combined to form a soft dough.
- Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the peaches, covering as much surface as possible but leaving some gaps.
- Step 7: Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Step 8: Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
