Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 6 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 large cans, drained)

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Crust/Topping:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

• 3/4 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk)

Instructions

1. Prepare the peaches: In a large saucepan, combine sliced peaches, sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 8–10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and the peaches release their juices. Remove from heat.

2. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Make the topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir just until combined.

4. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the peach filling into the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the dough topping evenly over the peaches, spreading gently but leaving some fruit exposed for that classic cobbler look.

5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.

6. Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
