Ingredients
  

Fruit Filling
  • 6 cups Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced Can use frozen peaches if fresh are out of season.
  • 1 cup Sugar To sweeten the filling.
Cobbler Topping
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Plus another tablespoon for dusting.
  • 1/2 cup Butter, unsalted, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder To help the cobbler rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture to the topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it nice and hot.
  2. Prep the Peaches: In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar and let them sit to release their juices, about 10 minutes.
  3. Make the Batter: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and milk, stirring until just combined.
  4. Assemble: Pour the peaches along with their juices into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Then, pour the batter evenly over the top of the peaches.
  5. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. It’s delightful on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the sugar depending on how sweet you prefer your cobbler. For a fun twist, you could add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling. To store leftovers, cover tightly and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven set at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
