Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 1 large can (29 oz) sliced peaches, with about half the syrup reserved
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Spices (Optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place a 9×13-inch baking dish inside to melt the butter as the oven heats up.
- Melt Butter: Once the oven is preheated, check and remove the baking dish containing the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully melted and hot for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Milk and Vanilla: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract (if using) to the dry mixture and stir gently just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
- Pour Batter Over Butter: Carefully pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the hot baking dish, but do not stir the batter into the butter.
- Add Peaches: Spoon the sliced peaches along with some of the reserved syrup evenly over the top of the batter without stirring, allowing the batter to rise around the fruit.
- Sprinkle Spices: Lightly dust the top with cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired, for extra warmth and flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the cobbler topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the peach cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set and make serving easier.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches if available, but canned peaches with syrup create a delicious, convenient base for this recipe.
- Do not stir the batter after adding the peaches; this helps the cobbler develop a light, biscuit-like topping.
- Optional spices like cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the flavor but can be omitted based on preference.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
