Peach Cobbler Recipe
An easy peach cobbler with fresh, juicy peaches baked into a buttery, cinnamon-scented batter that rises up around the fruit to form a golden crust. This is a from-scratch summer classic!
Equipment
- 9x13-inch or 3-quart baking dish
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling:
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (100g)
- 6 large yellow peaches ripe (about 900g)
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar (55g)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
For the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup whole milk (180mL)
Instructions
Make the Filling:
- 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, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Peel the peaches then halve them, remove the pit, slice into roughly ¼-inch-thick 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.
Make the Batter and Assemble:
- 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. The stovetop step takes only a few minutes, just until the sugar dissolves. They'll finish cooking in the oven; overcooking now makes them mushy after baking.
- Customize the dish size. This recipe works in a 9x13-inch baking pan, any 3-quart baking dish, two 8×8-inch dishes, or individual 8-ounce ramekins. The baking time may change slightly depending on how thick the batter is in the dish, so check on it for a golden color and bubbly juices.
