Easy Peach Cobbler for Two
Description
The cobbler is made by combining baking mix, milk, nutmeg, and melted butter into a batter, which is placed in a small baking dish. A mixture of drained canned peach slices, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cinnamon is then spooned over the batter before baking at 375°F until golden and bubbling. The result is a warm cobbler with a tender crust beneath soft peach slices infused with subtle amaretto-like notes from the almond extract.
The texture features a slightly crisp golden topping with a moist, cakey batter underneath and soft peaches providing juiciness and sweetness. The added spices and real vanilla and almond extracts give depth to the flavor, setting it apart from basic peach desserts.
After baking, it is best to let the cobbler sit briefly to allow the filling to cool slightly before serving. This modestly sized dish works well for one or two servings but can be doubled or divided into smaller portions in ramekins, adjusting baking time accordingly. Vanilla ice cream complements the warm cobbler nicely.
The recipe notes emphasize that reducing the sugar significantly affects the final taste, advising use of real vanilla and almond extracts for the best flavor. Small Le Creuset baking dishes have been found ideal for this size. Patience with cooling before eating is recommended to avoid burning from the hot filling.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup baking mix Bisquick
- ½ Cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 15.9 oz peaches drained, canned, sliced
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract real
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract real
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Stir together the baking mix, milk and nutmeg in a medium sized bowl then add the melted butter and mix some more. Use a 1 quart baking dish if making this dish for two people. Upgrade to a 9x9 pan if doubling to make for 4-6.
- In a separate medium sized bowl, mix together the sugar, drained peaches, vanilla, almond and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Pour the peach mixture on top of the batter mixture that you already put in the bottom of the 1 quart baking dish.
- Bake at 375 for 40 minutes (if you double the recipe - bake a little longer). Its done when it is golden brown and bubbly and smelling like PURE heaven! Serve warm. Allow it to sit for a minute because it is like hot lava when it comes out of the oven
Notes
- The recipe calls for higher sugar than usual in this smaller size for optimal flavor; reducing it noticeably changes the result.
- Use real vanilla and almond extracts rather than imitation for best flavor impact.
- For larger servings, double the recipe and bake a bit longer, or divide into ramekins and shorten baking times as needed.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after baking to prevent burns from the hot filling.
- Serving with good-quality vanilla ice cream enhances the dessert experience.
- Small 1-quart baking dishes are an ideal size for this recipe when cooking for one or two.
