Ingredients
6cupsof fresh peaches
1cupof granulated sugarfor the peach filling
1tablespoonof lemon juiceto enhance the flavor of the peaches
1/2teaspoonof cinnamonoptional for a warm, spicy touch
1cupof all-purpose flourfor the biscuit topping
1/2cupof sugarfor the topping
2teaspoonsof baking powderfor the rise
1/2teaspoonof saltto balance out the sweetness
1/2cupof melted butter
1/2cupof milk
1teaspoonof vanilla extractfor extra flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine your sliced peaches, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using). Toss everything together until the peaches are well-coated and pour the mixture into your greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is thick and smooth. This will create the biscuit topping that will bake into a lovely, golden crust.
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
Spoon the biscuit batter over the peach filling, spreading it out with your spatula. Don’t worry if it doesn’t fully cover the peaches – as it bakes, it will spread and form a perfect, crumbly topping.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the peach filling bubbles around the edges. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 5: Serve and Savor
Serve your warm peach cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The cool creaminess complements the warm, juicy cobbler, making each bite a delight.
Notes
For a twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the peach filling or drizzle caramel sauce on top for extra richness.
