Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 medium fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 cups or 900g)
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free like oat or almond milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and slice 5-6 medium peaches. Toss them in a bowl with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. Let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable.
- Pour the peach mixture with juices into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Dollop the batter over the peaches; it will spread as it bakes.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and peach juices are bubbling. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.
Notes
If topping browns too fast, tent with foil. Let cobbler cool before serving for thicker juices. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free blend. For vegan, use coconut oil or vegan butter and plant-based milk. Optional: add chopped pecans or fresh berries for variation.
