Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375℉.
  • Add the peaches, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a bubble and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the peaches begin to soften.
  • Spread the cubes of butter evenly in a 9x9-inch baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and leave it in until the butter has melted and is bubbly.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and egg, vanilla, and milk to a bowl and whisk just until you no longer see any flour.
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter. Pour the peaches evenly over the batter.
  • Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler topping is set and golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  1. Fresh vs. Canned Peaches: Fresh peaches are my first choice for that juicy summer flavor. But canned (drained well!) or thawed frozen peaches work great when you’re craving cobbler out of season.
  2. Don’t Skip the Butter Melt: Melting the butter in the pan creates that classic “rise to the top” cobbler effect. Trust me, don’t stir it all together, even if your instincts say otherwise!
  3. Taste Your Peaches: If your peaches are extra sweet, cut back a bit on the sugar so your cobbler doesn’t end up cloying.
  4. Add Some Spice: A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg in the filling makes this even cozier.
  5. Serve It Warm: This dessert is amazing warm out of the oven with ice cream. Leftovers reheat beautifully, but fresh is where it’s at.
  6. Freezer Friendly: Cool completely, wrap it well, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven so the topping crisps back up.
