Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6-8 medium Fresh Peaches Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor; frozen can work in a pinch.
  • 1 cup Sugar Adjust depending on the ripeness of your peaches.
For the Cobbler Crust
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour The foundation of the delicious crust.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Ensures your cobbler has the right rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt A pinch to balance the sweetness.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture to the batter.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Use unsalted butter for the best flavor; it should be melted.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, butter a baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar. Allow them to sit and macerate for about 10 minutes. The sugar draws out moisture, creating a sweet peach syrup.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mixing the Batter
  1. Add melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy—this is perfect!
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, including all the syrup, but do not stir; the peaches will sink as it bakes.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra indulgence. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
