Description
This Classic Southern Peach Cobbler is a cozy, golden-baked dessert bursting with juicy peaches and a buttery biscuit crust. Whether you’re using fresh, frozen, or canned peaches, it’s a nostalgic crowd-pleaser that’s surprisingly simple to make at home.
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned and drained)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep Peaches: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour batter over butter—do not stir. Spoon peaches and their juices evenly over the batter.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate treat.
Notes
You can swap peaches for other fruits like apricots or rhubarb. For a crispier crust, sprinkle coarse sugar over the top before baking. This cobbler is just as tasty served chilled the next day.
