Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the peach filling:

  • 6 cups ripe peaches about 6–7 peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch optional, for thicker filling

For the cobbler topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or cast iron skillet.
  • In a large bowl, mix peaches, sugars, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornstarch if using. Pour into the baking dish.
  • Melt butter and pour it over the peach mixture. Do not stir.
  • In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and milk until smooth. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Do not stir.
  • Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 38 to 42 minutes or until golden and set.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • If fresh peaches aren’t in season, thawed frozen peaches work just as well.
  • Avoid stirring after layering the batter and fruit—the cobbler rises and bakes properly without help.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the filling if you want extra spice.
  • Letting it cool slightly before serving helps the juices thicken and makes it easier to serve.
