How to Make Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 6-7 large peaches (about 900 grams, sliced)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (6 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (14 grams)
- 8 tablespoons salted butter (113 grams, 1 stick)
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (150 grams)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder (6 grams)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup brown sugar (107 grams)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup milk (170 grams)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (8 grams)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into wedges.
- In a large bowl, add the sliced peaches, ½ cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Gently mix the peaches and let the bowl sit. This allows the sugar to draw out the juices from the peaches.
- Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put the dish in the oven to melt the butter.
- While the butter is melting, prepare the batter. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, kosher salt, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
- In a measuring cup, stir the milk and vanilla extract together. Pour the milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter without stirring it.
- Using a large spoon, place the peaches on top of the batter, making sure to include some of the juices from the peaches.
- Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
How to Serve Peach Cobbler
Peach cobbler is best served warm. Scoop generous portions onto plates and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream melts into the warm cobbler, creating a delicious contrast of flavors and temperatures.
How to Store Peach Cobbler
To store leftover peach cobbler, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator. It can be stored for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
Tips to Make Peach Cobbler
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. Canned peaches can be used in a pinch, but fresh ones are preferred.
- Adjust the sugar levels based on the sweetness of your peaches. If they are very sweet, you can reduce the sugar.
- Serve with whipped cream or yogurt for a lighter topping option.
Variation
You can add other fruits, like blueberries or raspberries, to the peach filling for a mixed fruit cobbler. You can also experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to change up the flavor.
FAQs

A: Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Just make sure to thaw and drain them before using to avoid excess moisture in the cobbler.
