Ingredients

Scale

Peach Filling

  • 8 large peaches (peeled and sliced)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
  2. Combine peaches: In a Dutch oven, mix together the sliced peaches, 1/4 cup of sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the peaches evenly and allow the spices to infuse the fruit.
  3. Whisk batter: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the melted butter and whole milk until the batter is smooth and just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Spoon batter: Dollop spoonfuls of the batter over the peach mixture in the Dutch oven. Gently spread the batter to cover as much of the peaches as possible, creating a layered effect.
  5. Sprinkle sugar: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar evenly over the batter to add a sweet, crisp topping.
  6. Bake cobbler: Place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Peeling peaches can be made easier by blanching them in boiling water for 30-60 seconds then transferring to ice water.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based butter alternative.
  • Adjust sugar quantities based on the sweetness of your peaches and personal preference.
  • If you don’t have a Dutch oven, use an oven-safe deep baking dish but keep an eye on baking time as it may vary slightly.
  • This cobbler tastes best served warm but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
