The BEST Peach Cobbler Recipe
Description
The BEST Peach Cobbler Recipe begins by preparing fresh peaches, which are quickly boiled to loosen their skins for easy removal, then sliced and combined with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This fruit mixture is baked for 15 minutes to soften the peaches and release juices, forming a syrupy base.
Meanwhile, the topping is mixed from flour, sugar, egg, melted butter, baking powder, and salt into a soft batter. After the peaches have baked, this batter is spread over them and topped with reserved peach slices for an attractive presentation. The cobbler is then baked further until the topping is golden and cooked through.
The result is a cobbler with sweet, tender peach filling enriched by warm spices, contrasted by a moist yet lightly crisp topping. Serving it warm offers a comforting dessert that showcases seasonal fruit texture and aroma.
The notes suggest preparing the cobbler to step four in advance and refrigerating until baking, adjusting baking time when using chilled dough. Reserving peach slices for the top enhances the visual appeal.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds peach fresh
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter plus 1 tablespoon butter for preparing the pan, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare a 9 X 13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of soft butter spread to coat the insides of the dish.
- First, prepare the peaches. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add a few of the peaches to the water (don't crowd the pot) and boil for 30-45 seconds or until the skin softens and easily pulls away. The time will vary depending on how ripe the peaches are. Use a slotted spoon to remove the peaches from the pot to a cutting board. Cool the peaches until you can handle them, then gently rub the skin from the fruit, or use a paring knife to peel the skin from the peaches. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pit, then slice into ¼-inch pieces.
- Layer the peaches in the baking dish and toss with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then remove.
- While the peaches are baking, in a large mixing bowl, use a fork or whisk to mix the flour, sugar, egg, melted butter, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is similar in texture to cookie dough. Drop the dough onto the top of the baked peaches, gently spreading to cover.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cobbler is bubbly and the crust is golden, crisped, and cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Peel peaches by briefly boiling to ease skin removal.
- The cobbler can be assembled to the dough step and refrigerated before baking; add 5-10 minutes to baking time if baked cold.
- Reserve some cooked peach slices to place atop the dough for a decorative finish before baking.
