Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 6–8 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 4 cups canned peaches, drained)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), lemon juice, and cornstarch.
• Mix well, making sure the peaches are evenly coated.
• Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the Topping

• In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

• Pour the batter evenly over the peach mixture. Spread it gently with a spatula if needed, making sure the batter covers the peaches completely.

Step 5: Bake

• Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling and thickened.

Step 6: Serve
