Lazy Man’s peach cobbler

This recipe uses canned peaches and a simple biscuit-style topping, so you can have dessert ready in about 40 minutes.

Ingredients (serves 6–8)

• 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches in juice, drained slightly
• ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup milk
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional toppings

• Pinch of nutmeg
• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar size.
2. Prepare the fruit
   In a medium bowl, mix drained peaches with ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the batter
   In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth, then fold in melted butter.
4. Assemble the cobbler
   Pour the batter over the peaches. Do not stir—the batter will spread and bake over the fruit naturally.
5. Bake
   Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
6. Cool slightly and serve
   Let cobbler cool 5–10 minutes before serving. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Tips for Success

• Extra flavor: Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking.
• Juicier fruit: Reserve 2 tablespoons of peach juice and drizzle over the batter before baking.
• Quick variation: Use frozen peaches (thawed) instead of canned.
