Ingredients

• 6 cups (peeled and sliced) fresh peaches
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.5 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Stir well.

Step 3

Cook the peach mixture for about 5-7 minutes until it begins to thicken, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while it preheats. Remove once melted.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the flour mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Step 8

Spoon the cooked peach mixture evenly over the batter. The batter will rise around the fruit as it bakes.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
