🍑 Classic Southern Peach Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Peach Filling:

• 6 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup butter, melted
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla. Stir just until a thick batter forms.
5. Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches.
6. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
7. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the classic Southern finish.
