🍑 Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler
Serves 6–8
Ingredients
For the Peach Filling
- 6–8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 2 cans, 15 oz each, of sliced peaches, drained)
- Âľ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp cornstarch (if using fresh peaches, optional to thicken)
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ÂĽ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Peach Filling
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch (if using).
- Stir gently to coat all the peaches.
- Pour peach mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla; stir until just combined.
- Spoon batter over peaches. Do not worry about covering all the peaches—the batter will spread as it bakes.
4. Bake
- Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and cooked through, and peach juices are bubbly.
5. Serve
- Let cobbler cool slightly before serving.
- Optional: Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
🔥 Tips for Perfect Peach Cobbler
- Juicy peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches give the best flavor, but canned work well too.
- Topping texture: Spoon the batter unevenly for a more rustic look; it creates peaks and valleys for a traditional cobbler feel.
- Thicker filling: Use cornstarch for fresh peaches to prevent a watery cobbler.
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of bourbon to the peach filling.
Variations
- Mixed Fruit Cobbler: Combine peaches with berries, cherries, or plums.
- Spiced Cobbler: Add ginger, allspice, or cloves to the filling.
- Crunchy topping: Sprinkle coarse sugar or oats on top before baking for a crisp finish.
