Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach mixture, leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe, but firm peaches for the best texture.
- If fresh peaches are not in season, you can use frozen or canned (drained) peaches. Adjust sugar if using canned.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
