Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Fruit
- 1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches in syrup, undrained
Optional
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Prepare Butter Base: Pour the melted unsalted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly as the base layer of your cobbler.
- Mix Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Slowly stir in the milk until just combined into a smooth batter, being careful not to overmix.
- Layer Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish, but do not stir; the batter will naturally settle beneath the butter as it bakes.
- Add Peaches: Spoon the canned sliced peaches along with their syrup evenly over the batter, again without stirring, to allow the peach syrup to create a moist, flavorful topping.
- Optional Cinnamon: Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the top if desired to add warmth and spice to the flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For extra indulgence, top servings with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh or frozen peaches (about 2 cups) for the canned peaches; just add 2–3 tablespoons of sugar to sweeten them.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the batter or peaches.
- This recipe is best served warm fresh from the oven but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
