Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 8 large peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal baking temperature for the cobbler.
- Combine peaches: In a Dutch oven, mix the sliced peaches with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to coat the peaches evenly with the spices and sugar.
- Whisk batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the melted unsalted butter and whole milk until the batter is just combined, being careful not to overmix for a tender topping.
- Spoon batter: Spoon the batter over the peach mixture in dollops within the Dutch oven. Gently spread the batter to cover as much of the peaches as possible, creating an even layer.
- Sprinkle sugar: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the batter to add a sweet, crisp topping.
- Bake cobbler: Place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and you see the peach filling bubbling around the edges.
- Cool slightly: Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for a few minutes, allowing the cobbler to set and cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Serve the peach cobbler warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Make sure to peel the peaches for a smooth texture; if preferred, you may leave the skins on for extra fiber and rustic appearance.
- If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
- Butter can be substituted with a dairy-free alternative to make the recipe lactose-free.
- This cobbler is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- Adjust sugar amount based on peach sweetness and personal preference.
