Scale
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
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Prepare the Peach Filling:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Peaches: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peaches, 1 cup of sugar, and water (or peach juice). Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the peaches have softened slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the butter is melted and everything is well combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Make the Cobbler Topping:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Egg: Stir in the beaten egg until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the Topping: Sprinkle this topping evenly over the peach filling.
- 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.
