Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and slice the peaches (if using fresh). If using canned or frozen peaches, drain any excess liquid.
- In a mixing bowl, combine peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the peaches evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
3. Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the batter evenly over the peach mixture. It’s okay if it doesn’t completely cover the fruit—the batter will spread as it bakes.
- Sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for added sweetness and crunch.
4. Bake to Perfection:
- Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- For a true Southern touch, drizzle with a little heavy cream.
