Ingredients
Scale
For the Peach Filling:
- 6 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches (peeled if fresh)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup boiling water
For Serving:
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Peach Filling: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Toss the mixture well until the peaches are evenly coated. Transfer this filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the chilled cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the boiling water just until the dough forms.
- Assemble and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the peach filling, covering parts of the peaches but not completely. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the peach mixture is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of warm and cold flavors.
Notes
- You can substitute canned peaches if fresh or frozen are unavailable; make sure to drain them well and reduce the sugar slightly to avoid excess sweetness.
- For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the peach filling.
