Ingredients
Ingredients for the Peach Filling:
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter (100g)
- 6 large yellow peaches, ripe (about 900g)
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar (55g)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
Ingredients for the Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup whole milk (180mL)
Instructions
Make the Filling:
- Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. Cut the butter into several pieces and place them in a 9×13 baking dish. Put the dish in the oven until the butter has melted, which should take about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Peel the peaches, then cut them in half, discard the pit, and slice them into pieces approximately ¼-inch thick. Transfer the slices to a large skillet.
- Sprinkle both the brown and granulated sugars over the peaches, mixing them together. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugars have dissolved, which will only take a few minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Make the Batter and Assemble:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the milk and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it towards the edges without mixing it with the melted butter.
- Carefully add the peaches along with any liquid into the dish, spreading them out evenly while leaving some gaps for the cobbler topping to rise through.
- Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. The cobbler is ready when it turns golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed.
Notes
TECHNIQUE TIP: Avoid overcooking the peaches on the stovetop. They will continue cooking in the oven to prevent mushiness.
STORAGE: Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
SUBSTITUTION: If fresh peaches are unavailable, substitute with frozen peaches, ensuring they are thawed and drained.
