Ingredients

Crust

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk

Peach Filling

  • 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches about 7-8 medium peaches
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit. Place butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish and melt in the microwave.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and whisk until most of the lumps are gone. Pour over the top of the melted butter but do not stir.
  • Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a medium sized sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Pour over the top of the butter and crust batter but do not stir.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until top is nicely golden brown. Allow to cool just slightly before serving. Serve warm on its own, or with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • How to peel peaches: If you've ever tried to peel a peach with a standard veggie peeler, you know it can be messy, and most of the time you end up losing a lot of the peach "meat" in the process. Doing a quick blanch of your peaches will make them so much easier to peel!
  • How to store: Most cobblers are best if they are eaten the same day they are made, but any leftovers you have can be stored covered on the kitchen counter for up to three days.
  • Freezing: Yep! You can bake the cobbler as written and allow it to cool completely, then wrap tightly in both plastic wrap and foil and store in the freezer for up to three months. Allow to thaw partially in the refrigerator (about 1-2 hours) and then warm the cobbler in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through and bubbly.
