- Fresh peaches - Granulated sugar - Ground cinnamon - Lemon juice - All-purpose flour - Baking powder - Salt - Whole milk - Unsalted butter - Vanilla extract When you make this easy old fashioned peach cobbler, measuring ingredients is key. Use dry measuring cups for flour and sugar. Fill the cup and level it off with a straight edge. For liquids, use a clear measuring cup with measurements on the side. This helps you see the amount you need. Using fresh peaches is very important. Fresh peaches bring sweet juice and flavor. They also give a nice texture. If you can, buy peaches that are ripe. They should feel soft but not mushy. Ripe peaches will make your cobbler bright and tasty. To make this recipe even easier, I suggest looking at the Full Recipe. It has all the steps you need to follow for a perfect cobbler every time. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step warms up the oven, making it ready for baking. While the oven heats, prepare your peaches. Use four cups of fresh peaches, peeled and sliced. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with half a cup of granulated sugar, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir gently until the peaches are coated. Let them sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. This process is called macerating. It draws out the juices and makes the peaches sweet and tasty. Next, you will make the batter. In a separate bowl, mix one cup of all-purpose flour, another half cup of granulated sugar, two teaspoons of baking powder, and half a teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients well. Then, pour in one cup of whole milk, half a cup of melted unsalted butter, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are okay. This will keep your cobbler light and fluffy. Now, it’s time to put everything together. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Make sure the batter is spread evenly across the bottom. Next, spoon the peach mixture, including all the juices, over the batter. Do not stir it in; the layers will come together as it bakes. Place the dish in your preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The cobbler is done when it turns golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy the sweet aroma as it fills your kitchen! To get the best cobbler texture, focus on the batter. Mix it until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to tough cobbler. When adding the peach mixture, do not stir. This helps create that delightful layer of fruit on top. To prevent a soggy bottom, make sure to grease your baking dish well. Pour the batter in first, then add the peaches on top. This way, the juices will flow into the batter while baking, not making it soggy. Serve your peach cobbler warm for the best taste. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on top is a classic choice. The cold ice cream melts into the warm cobbler, creating a lovely mix. You can also drizzle some peach syrup over the ice cream for extra sweetness. Garnish with fresh mint for a nice touch. If you want to change the sweetness, adjust the sugar. Taste the peaches before adding sugar. If they are very sweet, use less. For gluten-free options, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use almond milk instead of whole milk. Both adjustments work well and keep the flavor intact. You can find the Full Recipe to help you create this easy dessert. {{image_2}} You can easily change the taste of your peach cobbler. Try adding spices like nutmeg or ginger. These spices bring warmth and depth to the dish. You can also mix in other fruits. Berries, like blueberries or raspberries, work well and add a new twist. Using flavored extracts can elevate your cobbler too. A splash of almond or coconut extract adds a unique flavor that surprises your taste buds. Do not feel limited to a traditional topping. You can use biscuits instead of a batter. This gives a nice, fluffy texture. Another option is whipped topping. It adds creaminess and a light feel. You might even consider a crumb crust. It offers a delightful crunch that pairs well with the soft peaches. Your peach cobbler can change with the seasons. In summer, add berries for a fresh burst of flavor. In fall, use apples or pears for a cozy vibe. You can introduce seasonal spices, too. Cinnamon and nutmeg fit well in autumn. In winter, try warming spices like cardamom for a comforting treat. Each season brings new flavors and ideas to enjoy. For the full recipe, check out the Classic Peach Cobbler Delight. To keep your leftover cobbler fresh, follow these steps: - Refrigeration: Let the cobbler cool completely. Cover it with plastic wrap or foil. Place it in the fridge. It stays good for up to three days. - Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the cobbler. Cut it into pieces. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. It can last up to three months in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy leftover cobbler, here’s how to reheat it: - Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the cobbler in an oven-safe dish. Cover with foil to keep it moist. Heat for about 20 minutes or until warm. - Microwave Method: Cut a piece of cobbler and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 30 seconds to a minute. Check to avoid overheating. To restore texture and flavor, consider adding a scoop of ice cream. It melts into the warm cobbler, making it even more tasty. The shelf life of peach cobbler is important to know: - Freshness: When stored properly in the fridge, cobbler is fresh for about three days. - Signs of Spoilage: Look for signs like off smells, mold, or a watery texture. If you notice any of these, it's best to throw it away. Stay safe and enjoy your cobbler at its best! You can check for doneness using a few simple signs. First, look for a golden brown top. The edges should bubble and look slightly crispy. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your cobbler is ready. Let it cool slightly before serving, as it will set more as it cools. Yes, you can use canned peaches. They save time and are convenient. However, fresh peaches offer a better taste and texture. Canned peaches can be sweeter, so adjust the sugar in your recipe. Drain the syrup before using to avoid a soggy cobbler. If you want to cut back on sugar, there are options. You can use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. These natural sweeteners add flavor too. Keep in mind, they may change the texture slightly. Start with less sweetener, then taste and adjust as needed. Yes, you can prepare this cobbler in advance. Mix the peach filling and batter separately. Store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, combine them and follow the baking instructions. This helps save time and makes serving easier. Just remember, it tastes best fresh out of the oven!

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, half of the sugar (1/2 cup), cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until the peaches are well-coated and set aside to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.

          Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
