Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled peaches (fresh or thawed frozen)
- ¼ cup butter (to be melted in the baking dish)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided (about ⅔ cup for batter, ⅓ cup for peaches)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ cup brown sugar (for topping)
- Ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Place ¼ cup butter in a 9-inch glass baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
- In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup flour, ⅔ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and egg, stirring until just combined. Pour this batter over the melted butter in the dish. Do not stir.
- In a separate bowl, mix peaches, ⅓ cup sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon this peach mixture gently over the batter. Again, do not stir.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup brown sugar over the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden and the edges are bubbling. Optionally, finish under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp the top—watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Notes
- Doubles easily when baked in a 9×13‑inch pan.
- Can use fresh or frozen peaches—just thaw and drain if using frozen.
- The “no‑stir” method creates a layer of batter that bakes into a cake-like topping while peaches sink into the base for a wonderfully contrasting texture.
