Ingredients
Peach Filling
8 cups peaches, peeled and sliced (about 8–10 peaches)
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional
Vanilla ice cream
Caramel drizzle
Tip
For the best flavor, use a mix of:
Fresh ripe peaches
Yellow peaches
White peaches
If peaches aren't in season, frozen peaches work perfectly.
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Add peaches, sugars, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl.
Mix until peaches are evenly coated.
Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
Step 2: Make the Cobbler Batter
In a separate bowl combine:
Flour
Sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Whisk together.
Add milk and melted butter.
Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches.
Do not stir.
The batter will rise around the peaches while baking and create that classic cobbler texture.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes or until:
Top is golden brown
Filling is bubbling around the edges
If needed, bake an additional 5 minutes for extra browning.
Step 5: Cool
Allow cobbler to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
