Ingredients Notes For Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler:

• Peaches: Fresh peaches are ideal when in season, peeled and sliced. Canned or frozen peaches can also be used for convenience or year-round enjoyment.
• Sugar: Adjust the amount based on the sweetness of your peaches and personal preference.
• Lemon Juice: Adds brightness and balances the sweetness of the peaches.
• Topping: A simple batter made from flour, sugar, baking powder, and butter, creating a biscuit-like crust that’s tender and crisp.
• Spices: A touch of cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the peaches for extra warmth and flavor.

Recipe Steps:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Peaches: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss sliced peaches with sugar and lemon juice, and let them macerate to draw out the juices.
2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk to form a thick batter.
3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the peaches and their juices into a baking dish. Dollop the batter over the peaches, spreading gently. Don’t worry about covering the peaches completely; the topping will spread as it bakes.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly, about 35-45 minutes.
5. Serve Warm: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Store leftover cobbler in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the oven or microwave before serving to recapture the texture of the topping.

Ingredients

For the Peach Filling:

• 6 cups fresh peaches sliced (about 8-10 medium peaches)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water if using fresh peaches or 1/4 cup of the juice (if using canned peaches)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Drizzle with Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the cobbler topping.

Bake:

• Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
• Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
