Peach Cobbler
Description
Peach Cobbler uses ripe yellow peaches, gently cooked with sugar on the stove, to create a luscious fruit base that retains some texture. The cobbler topping is made from a simple batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and milk poured over melted butter and baked until golden and springy. Baking ensures the edges are crisp while the interior remains tender and moist.
The interplay of warm cinnamon in the batter and the naturally sweet peach filling adds complexity to the flavor. The cooking method prevents the peaches from becoming overly soft, so the cobbler is juicy without being mushy. This dessert pairs well with cream or ice cream, highlighting the cinnamon and caramelized sugars.
The recipe suggests using a 9x13-inch dish but can be adapted to other sizes or even ramekins for individual servings. Cooking the peaches briefly before baking dissolves the sugar and softens the fruit slightly, ensuring an even, flavorful filling. The cobbler should rest after baking to set the filling slightly for easier serving.
Adding lemon juice to the peaches can brighten the flavor. If juices are very watery, a small amount of cornstarch can be added to thicken. The topping may be shielded with foil if browning too fast. Overall, it's a straightforward way to present fresh peaches warmed with a tender, spiced crust.
Ingredients
For the Peaches
- 6 large yellow peaches ripe
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
- ¼ cup brown sugar (50g)
For the Cobbler
- 7 tbsp butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Peel the peaches then halve them, remove pit, slice into roughly 1/4 inch pieces, and transfer to a large skillet.
- Sprinkle brown and granulated sugar over the peaches and mix then place on medium heat while stirring occasionally. You'll cook the peaches for just a few minutes until the sugars dissolve. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cut butter into a few pats and place in your 9x13 baking dish then pop your dish into the oven to warm until the butter melts. Set the dish aside once melted.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl then pour in the milk and mix until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into your baking dish and spread out toward the edges but do not mix with the butter.
- Transfer the peaches with any liquid into your dish and spread out evenly. Leave some gaps for the cobbler topping to rise through.
- Bake at 375F for about 40-45 ,minutes. It's done when the cobbler is golden brown and springs back when pressed lightly.
Notes
- Choose ripe and fragrant peaches that are slightly soft for best flavor and juiciness.
- Adding up to 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the peaches enhances brightness and balances sweetness.
- Cook peaches only until sugars dissolve to prevent over-softening the fruit filling.
- Use a 9x13" baking dish or adjust to similarly sized dishes; ramekins work for individual portions.
- If peaches are very juicy, stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken the filling and avoid sogginess.
- To prevent excessive browning on top, loosely cover with foil during baking if needed.
- Allow the cobbler to cool 20-30 minutes before serving to let the filling set and ease portioning.
