Ingredients
Peach Filling
- 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and cut into large chunks (about 7–8 peaches)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Cobbler Topping
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir together the milk and vanilla, then gently mix into the flour mixture just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon large dollops of the topping over the peaches, leaving small gaps so the fruit bubbles through while baking.
- Mix the coarse sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let cool for about 15 minutes before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Quick Notes
- Fresh peaches produce the best flavor, but frozen peaches can be substituted without thawing.
- If your peaches are very ripe, reduce the sugar by about ¼ cup.
- For extra richness, brush the topping with 1 tablespoon of melted butter during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
