→ For Serving (Optional)
10 -
Ice cream or whipped cream
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 375 degrees.
02 -
Put the butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish and place it in the oven until the butter melts - about 5 minutes. Take it out and set it aside.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk just until the dry ingredients are moistened - don't overmix. Pour this batter right over the melted butter in the baking dish. Don't stir it together - just leave it as separate layers.
04 -
In another large bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of sugar with the peach slices and lemon juice. Toss everything together well. Pour this peach mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Again, don't stir - just let it sit in layers. If you want, sprinkle some cinnamon over the top.
05 -
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the cobbler is golden brown on top. The batter will bubble up through the fruit as it bakes - that's exactly what you want!
06 -
Serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature. Top with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if you like. Enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
The batter bubbles up over the fruit as it cooks - this is called a 'bubble up' and creates that classic cobbler texture.
02 -
You can use frozen peaches if fresh aren't available - just thaw and drain them first.
03 -
This recipe works with any fruit - try it with blackberries, blueberries, or a mix!
04 -
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
