Ingredients
  

For the peach filling
  • 4 cups Fresh or frozen peaches Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor.
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar Toss with peaches to create a syrup.
For the cobbler batter
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder Helps the crust rise.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness.
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture to the crust.
  • ¼ cup Butter, melted For a rich flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional) For added warmth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using fresh peaches: Peel and slice the peaches, then toss them in a bowl with ½ cup of granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to develop a syrup.
  2. If using frozen peaches: Thaw and drain them, then mix in sugar to taste.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ cup of sugar.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of milk and ¼ cup of melted butter until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
  5. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, ensuring the syrup is evenly distributed.
  6. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Serving
  1. Let your cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s perfect on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Tips: Use ripe peaches for the best flavor, adjust sweetness according to taste, and avoid overmixing the batter for fluffiness.
