Description
A Southern comfort classic, peach cobbler features a golden-brown, crumbly topping over syrupy, cinnamon-scented peaches. Perfect with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, this nostalgic dessert captures the essence of summer.
Ingredients
4 pounds (1.81 kg) fresh peaches, peeled and pitted (or 9 cups frozen peach slices, thawed)
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar (adjust for fruit sweetness)
1 1/2 tablespoons (7 g) cornstarch
2 1/2 tablespoons (7 g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (8 g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (235 ml) milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until evenly coated.
Transfer peach mixture to the prepared baking dish.
For the topping, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add milk, egg, and melted butter; stir until just combined.
Spread topping over the peaches, ensuring even coverage. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbly.
Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Adjust sugar quantity to suit the natural sweetness of the peaches.
Frozen peaches (thawed and drained) can be used in a pinch.
Serve warm with chilled whipped cream or vegan vanilla ice cream for contrast.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
