Summer's Perfect Peach Cobbler
A simple peach cobbler, made with fresh peaches and baked. Excellent with ice cream, or just on its own.
Equipment
- Baking Dish
- Sauce Pan
Ingredients
- 5 Peaches
- ¾ Cup White Sugar
- ½ Tsp Salt Divided in halves.
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 Cup Flour
- 1 Cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- ¾ Cup Milk
- ½ Tbsp Cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel and slice your peaches into wedges.
- Add peaches, half of the salt, and the white sugar to a sauce pan.
- Cook peaches on medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the peaches release some juice.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Cut butter into chunks and spread throughout the baking dish. I use a 9x13.
- Place the baking dish in the oven to warm up and melt the butter. Remove from the oven once the butter is melted. For a richer dessert, allow the butter to brown slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and remaining salt.
- Add in the milk and stir until combined. Don't over-mix here.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish over top of the butter. Smooth it out, but don't worry about mixing the butter in.
- Spoon the peaches over top of the batter. Again, no need to ensure it's all mixed together. You want some marbling to occur.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over top of the cobbler. You can also add in some nutmeg, clove, or allspice if you want a more autumnal spice mixture.
- Bake for 38-40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Best when served warm with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
