Batter Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Can reduce based on peach sweetness.

Preparation

  2. Carefully spoon the peaches and their juices over the batter. Do not stir.
  3. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly.
Serving
