Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by pouring the melted butter into it.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract into the dry mixture until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish, but do not stir. Evenly arrange the sliced peaches over the top of the batter.
- Add Cinnamon (Optional): Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the peaches if using, to add a warm spice note.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- If using fresh peaches, peeling them can result in a softer texture, but it’s optional.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added richness and flavor.
