Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated and set aside. Spread the prepared peaches into a greased baking dish.4 cups fresh peaches, sliced, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fingers, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces. Stir in rolled oats and vanilla extract.1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish. Gently press down the topping to adhere slightly and ensure even coverage.1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling around the edges. You should hear a gentle bubbling sound, and the top should look crisp.
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 10 minutes. The final texture should be a warm, tender fruit layer topped with a crisp, crumbly crust. Serve with optional vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
And just like that, your peach cobbler adventure is ready to serve! I recommend a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for that perfect contrast of warm and cool. Don’t forget to share your masterpiece with family or friends—nothing beats the joy of homemade. Happy baking, and let me know how it turns out!
