🥧 Grandma’s Timeless Peach Cobbler

Servings: 8

Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 40–45 mins

Ingredients:

For the peaches:

• 6–8 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (or 2 cans (15 oz each) sliced peaches, drained slightly)

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tbsp cornstarch (only if using fresh peaches)

For the batter crust:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the peach filling:

   • In a saucepan, combine peaches, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch (if using fresh peaches).

   • Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until bubbly and slightly thickened.
     (If using canned peaches, just mix and warm gently — don’t overcook.)

3. Make the batter:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth.

4. Assemble:

   • Pour melted butter into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.

   • Pour the batter over the butter — do not stir.

   • Spoon the warm peach mixture evenly over the batter — again, do not stir. The batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. The edges should be slightly crisp.

6. Cool slightly & serve warm:

   • Best enjoyed with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

🍑 Tips from Grandma’s Kitchen:

• Fresh peaches give the best flavor, but canned or frozen work in a pinch.

• Want extra crisp edges? Use a cast iron skillet instead of a glass dish.

• Let it rest 10–15 minutes before serving — it thickens as it cools.

• Add a pinch of ground ginger or allspice for a deeper spiced flavor.
