Warm and Fruity: Your Go-To Peach Cobbler Recipe

This Peach Cobbler doesn’t just deliver juicy fruit but also brings a light, biscuit-like topping that bakes beautifully. Moreover, it’s easy enough for beginner bakers yet satisfying enough to impress.

Here’s how you can create that perfect harmony of sweet peaches and golden batter, complete with helpful hints to ensure each bite turns out wonderfully.

Pro Tips for the Best Peach Cobbler:

1. Ripe Peach Selection: Choose peaches that are ripe and slightly soft to the touch — this ensures strong flavor and tender texture.
2. Layering with Care: Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring—this helps the topping rise around the fruit.
3. Even Slicing: Cut the peaches into uniform pieces so they cook evenly throughout.
4. Watch the Top: Bake until the topping is golden brown—this signals hit the sweet spot of doneness.
5. Serving Warm: Serve the cobbler while warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream, for extra indulgence.

Peach Cobbler Recipe:

• Preparation time: 15 minutes
• Cooking time: 1 hour
• Servings: About 8
• Equipment: 3-quart deep casserole dish, mixing bowl, large pot, tongs or slotted spoon

With this Peach Cobbler, your kitchen will smell like home and your table will bring smiles to the faces of everyone you serve.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 ¾ cup sugar, divided
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
• 3 pounds fresh ripe peaches* (5-6 peaches)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
2. Make the batter: Mix in 1 cup of the sugar. Then slowly stir in the milk until you have a smooth batter.
3. Melt the butter: Place the butter in the deep casserole dish and let it melt in the preheating oven.
4. Pour the batter: Once the butter is melted, pour the batter over it directly. Do not stir.
5. Prepare the peaches: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the peaches (using tongs or a slotted spoon) and boil for about 1 minute.
6. Peel and slice peaches: Remove the peaches from the pot and plunge them into a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. The skins will come off easily by hand. Slice the peaches into bite-sized pieces.
7. Combine fruit and sugar: In a clean bowl, mix the peeled, sliced peaches with the remaining ¾ cup sugar thoroughly. Then carefully spoon this peach mixture over the batter in the dish.
8. Bake to perfection: Bake the cobbler for 1 hour, or until the batter is golden brown on top.
9. Serve and enjoy: Once done, remove from the oven and serve warm—top with heavy cream or vanilla ice cream for extra yum.

To store: Refrigerate the cobbler in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

To reheat: Warm leftovers in a baking dish in the oven at 350°F or pop into the microwave.
