Ingredients
Peach Filling:
8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp cornstarch
Cobbler Topping:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
12 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and diced
½ cup boiling water
For Sprinkling:
3 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat to 400°F (for dark or glass pans) or 425°F (for light-colored pans). - Prepare the Peach Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, granulated and brown sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until peaches are evenly coated. Pour into a 2-quart baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. - Make the Cobbler Topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter and cut it in using your hands or a pastry blender until the mixture forms a crumbly texture. Stir in boiling water until just combined. - Assemble and Bake
Remove the dish from the oven. Spoon the cobbler topping evenly over the warm peach filling. Sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar. Set the baking dish on a tray and bake for around 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. - Cool and Serve
Allow the cobbler to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence
Notes
Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but thawed frozen or well-drained canned peaches can be used.
Cold butter is key to a crisp topping—don’t skip it.
Bake on a sheet to catch overflow and keep your oven clean.
Great with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
