Ingredients

For the peach filling

• 4 cups fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the cobbler topping

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently stir until the peaches are well coated.

   🍑 If using frozen peaches, let them thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing to prevent a watery filling.

3. Pour the peach mixture into a greased baking dish and set aside.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

5. Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

   🥄 For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter!

6. Spoon the cobbler topping evenly over the peach filling. It doesn’t need to cover the peaches completely; it will spread as it bakes.

7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and firm to the touch.

   ⏰ Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on your cobbler towards the end. It should be bubbly around the edges!

8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Variations
