Ingredients
Peach Filling
-
2 cans (15 oz / 425 g each) sliced peaches in syrup
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp cornstarch
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¾ cup milk
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Put the dish in the oven briefly until the butter melts.
-
Remove the dish and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling
-
Pour one full can of peaches with syrup into a saucepan.
-
Drain the second can, adding only the peaches to the pan.
-
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla.
-
Stir well and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes.
-
Stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly.
-
Remove from heat.
Step 3: Make the Batter
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Slowly stir in the milk.
-
Mix just until smooth. Do not overmix.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
-
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
-
Do not stir.
-
Spoon the warm peach mixture evenly over the batter.
-
Again, do not stir. The batter will rise around the peaches during baking.
Step 5: Bake
-
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes.
-
The top should be golden brown and the edges bubbly.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
-
Remove the cobbler from the oven.
-
Let it cool for 10–15 minutes to set.
-
Serve warm, plain or with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Helpful Tips
-
If your peaches are in heavy syrup, reduce the added sugar slightly.
-
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top before baking.
-
This cobbler thickens more as it cools.
