Ingredients

Scale

Peach Mixture

  • 5 peaches, sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Batter

  • 6 Tablespoons butter (85 g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (180 ml)

Additional

  • Ground cinnamon, to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Add the sliced peaches, sugar, and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. If using canned peaches, skip steps 1 and 2 and start from step 3.
  2. Cook Peach Mixture: Cook on medium heat for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the peaches release their juices. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Preheat and Melt Butter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the butter into pieces and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Put the dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter, then remove once melted.
  4. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk just until combined. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish and smooth the top.
  5. Add Peach Topping: Spoon the peach mixture along with its juices over the batter. Generously sprinkle ground cinnamon on top.
  6. Bake the Cobbler: Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 38 to 40 minutes until golden brown and set. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

  • If using canned peaches, omit the stovetop cooking of peaches and add them directly over the batter in step 5.
  • For an extra crisp topping, sprinkle a little extra sugar or cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • Make sure the butter is fully melted in the baking dish before adding the batter to ensure the cobbler base cooks evenly.
  • Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving for easier portioning.
