Ingredients
6 cups sliced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water (for fresh peaches)
2 tbsp butter (cut into pieces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine the peaches, half of the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, and water in a large bowl and toss until well coated.
Pour the peach mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and dot with the 2 tablespoons of butter pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the milk and melted butter until just combined to form a smooth batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the peach filling.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
If using canned peaches in syrup, reduce the sugar in the filling slightly. Serve warm with vanilla bean ice cream to balance the spice profile. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
