Description
A comforting peach cobbler that smells like summer and tastes like a warm hug, featuring fresh peaches and a tender topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6–8 ripe peaches (about 3 pounds), peeled and sliced
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for the filling)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or 3 tablespoons flour)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for the topping)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the topping)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (or whole milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice)
- Pinch of coarse sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 8×8-inch or 9-inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and salt. Stir gently to coat.
- Pour the peach mixture into a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 4–6 minutes until slightly thickened (optional).
- Transfer the peach filling to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
- Stir in buttermilk until just combined, then drop spoonfuls of the topping over the peaches.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
- Let the cobbler rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
