Equipment

9x13-inch or 3-quart baking dish

Ingredients

For the Peaches

7 tablespoons unsalted butter (100g)
6 large yellow peaches ripe (about 900g)
¼ cup packed brown sugar (55g)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)

For the Cobbler

1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk (180mL)
½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut butter into a few pats and place in a 9×13 baking dish then pop the dish into the oven to warm until the butter melts. Set aside.
Peel the peaches then halve them, remove pit, slice into roughly 1/4 inch pieces, and transfer to a large skillet.
Sprinkle brown and granulated sugar over the peaches and mix then place on medium heat while stirring occasionally. You'll cook the peaches for just a few minutes until the sugars dissolve. Remove from heat and set aside.
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl then pour in the milk and mix until just combined.
Transfer the batter into your baking dish and spread out toward the edges but do not mix with the butter.
Transfer the peaches with any liquid into your dish and spread out evenly. Leave some gaps for the cobbler topping to rise through.
Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. It's done when the cobbler is golden brown and springs back when pressed lightly.

Notes

Don’t overcook the peaches. Cooking the fresh peach filling on the stovetop should only take a few minutes. Remember, they will cook again in the oven! You don’t want to cook them too much, or the peaches will turn out too soft or mushy after baking. It’s ready when the sugar has dissolved.
Customize the baking dish size. This recipe works well with a 9x13-inch baking dish, a 3-quart baking dish of any shape, or divided among two 8x8-inch baking dishes. Or divide the batter and topping among individual 8-ounce ramekins for personal servings!
Sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar for a delicious, spiced topping! Simply stir 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon together and sprinkle on top of the cobbler before baking.
