Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 6 medium Fresh Peaches, peeled and sliced Use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor. Canned peaches can be used in a pinch; drain well.
Baking Ingredients
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Enhances the sweetness of the peaches.
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted Adds richness and aroma.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure to the cobbler.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Leavening agent for a light texture.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Helps create a tender batter.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Adds warmth and depth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the peaches: If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then toss them with sugar and let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
  3. Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish while the oven preheats.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  5. Combine dry and wet: Add the milk and remaining sugar to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir; allow the butter to float up around the batter.
  7. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter and sprinkle with any remaining juices.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  2. Let it cool slightly before serving to help the cobbler set up a bit.

Notes

Consider health swaps like whole wheat flour or reducing sugar. For a twist, add vanilla or berries. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days. To reheat, microwave or warm in the oven covered with foil.
