Peach Cobbler Recipe
Peach Cobbler is a classic Southern dessert that is full of sweet, aromatic peaches. This is my family's favorite recipe and we make it with fresh peaches, sweet and buttery topping, and everything is spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. Scoop some hot peach cobbler into a bowl and top it off with a hefty scoop of vanilla ice cream to create a heavenly dessert.

Ingredients
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
Peaches:
- 2 lbs ripe peaches about 5 peaches
- 3/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
Topping:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut cold butter into several pieces and place them all over the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Peach Filling:
- Wash peaches, pat them dry, and remove the pits.
- Slice them thinly and add into a mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon and toss to coat them evenly.
- Transfer them into a medium cooking pot, cover, and cook over medium-low heat until they start to soften and give out juices. Make sure to stir them from time to time. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Take the pot off heat and set it aside until ready to add to the cobbler.
Topping:
- Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl and whisk it together.
- Pour in milk and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
Cobbler:
- Place the baking dish into the oven until butter is melted and then carefully take it out of the oven.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter all over the bottom of the baking dish but don’t mix with the butter.
- Spoon peaches all over the top of the batter but don’t mix it either.
- Sprinkle some brown sugar over the top if you wish and place the baking dish back into the oven. Bake for about 35-40 minutes.

Notes
- Using frozen peaches: make sure to thaw and drain thawed peaches. Toss with flour, sugar, and spices, but don't cook.
- Using canned peaches: no need to mix canned peaches with flour and sugar, you can add the spices and spoon into the batter.
- Gluten free: use gluten free 1:1 all purpose flour for peaches and batter.
- Dairy free: use plant based butter and oat milk.
- Store: store leftovers covered air-tight in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave if needed.
