For this cobbler, use ripe, fresh peaches. You need about 4 cups, peeled and sliced. Look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch. The flavor shines when they are in season. If you want a sweeter taste, choose peaches that have a vibrant color. You will need 1 cup of granulated sugar, split into two parts. Use 1/2 cup for the peaches and 1/2 cup for the dry mix. The sugar brings out the peach flavors. You can adjust the sweetness based on your taste. For a hint of depth, I like to add a spoonful of brown sugar sometimes. For the dry mix, gather these items: - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 tablespoon cornstarch These ingredients help create a soft and fluffy texture. The cornstarch helps thicken the peach juice as it cooks. Make sure to mix them well. This is key for a nice rise in your cobbler. If you want to explore, try adding a touch of cinnamon for flavor. You can find the Full Recipe for detailed steps. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key for even baking. A hot oven helps make the cobbler golden and tasty. Next, take 4 cups of fresh peaches. Peel and slice them. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Toss gently until the peaches are coated. Let this sit for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to blend well. In another bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together. Then, pour in 6 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until just mixed. The batter should look a bit lumpy, which is fine for a rustic style. Now, pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly. Carefully spoon the peach mixture over the batter. Let the juices flow but keep the layers separate. This helps create a lovely contrast while baking. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top is golden brown and bubbling. Once it’s ready, take it out and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Enjoy your warm cobbler with vanilla ice cream for a perfect treat. For the full recipe, check the details above! To get a great texture, don’t overmix your batter. Mix just until the dry and wet ingredients combine, leaving some lumps. This helps create a nice, rustic feel. Also, spoon the peach filling over the batter gently. This allows the juice to flow down but keeps the layers separate. The result is a cobbler with a golden top and juicy fruit below. You can boost the flavor in many ways. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg along with cinnamon for depth. A splash of almond extract can also give a nice twist. If you want more tartness, mix in a bit of diced fresh ginger. For a fun twist, try adding a tablespoon of bourbon to the peach filling. It adds warmth and richness. One common mistake is using too much sugar. While you want sweetness, the peaches bring their own natural sugars. Use the recipe's sugar amounts as a guide. Avoid baking at a temperature that’s too high. This can lead to burnt edges and raw centers. Finally, let the cobbler cool for at least ten minutes after baking. This helps the filling set, making it easier to serve. For more detailed instructions, check out the Full Recipe. {{image_4}} You can swap some ingredients for a twist. Use brown sugar instead of white for a deeper flavor. Try almond milk instead of regular milk for a nutty taste. If you’re out of cornstarch, try flour to thicken the peach filling. Boost the flavor with spices. Adding nutmeg can give a warm touch. A dash of ginger can add a spark of heat. For a hint of citrus, mix in some orange zest. These small changes can make a big difference. Peaches are great, but you can mix it up. Fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries work well. Apples provide a nice crunch and sweetness. Cherries offer a tart flavor that contrasts nicely with the sweetness. Get creative and enjoy the process! For the full recipe, check out the Rustic Peach Delight Cobbler. To keep your cobbler fresh, let it cool first. Then, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil. You can store it in the fridge for up to three days.

Just remember to label the bags, so you know what’s inside! To reheat your cobbler, the oven works best. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the cobbler in a baking dish and cover it with foil. Heat it for about 20 minutes, or until it’s warm. If you want a crispy top, remove the foil for the last five minutes.

Ingredients
  

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup granulated sugar, divided (1/2 cup + 1/2 cup)

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions
 

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to create the perfect baking environment.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and cornstarch. Gently toss the mixture until the peaches are evenly coated. Let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until well incorporated.

        Pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined; be cautious not to overmix, as the batter should remain slightly lumpy for a rustic texture.

          Carefully pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.

            With care, spoon the peach mixture over the prepared batter, allowing the juices to flow and distribute while keeping the layers separate. This will create a delightful contrast during baking.

              Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler has developed a golden brown color and is bubbling attractively around the edges.

                Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a minimum of 10 minutes to avoid burning your mouth on the hot filling.
