A simple and rustic peach cobbler that feels like a warm hug. Perfect for summer gatherings!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1–2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons coarse turbinado sugar for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish or deep skillet.
- Macerate the peaches by combining with 3/4 cup of sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Taste the peach mixture and adjust sweetness or cornstarch as needed.
- Transfer the fruit with juices to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Make the topping by whisking flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then stir in milk and vanilla.
- Spoon topping over the peaches by the spoonful, leaving gaps for steam.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes until the topping is golden and juices are bubbling. Tent with foil if necessary.
- Cool for 10–15 minutes before serving warm, possibly with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
For a crispier finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking. Substitute peaches with frozen or even add berries for variety.
