Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup boiling water
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Prepare the Peaches
In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix well and pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Make the Cobbler Topping
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour the boiling water over the mixture and stir until just combined.
Assemble and Bake
Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture over the peaches, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
Serve Warm
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Expert Tips
- Peach Selection: Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor. If fresh peaches aren’t available, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well.
- Butter Matters: Ensure your butter is cold and cubed for a flaky, buttery topping.
- Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cardamom or ginger for a unique twist on the classic flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the peach filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
