Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 (15-ounce) cans sliced peaches, drained
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Batter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Peaches: Drain the canned sliced peaches thoroughly and pour them evenly into a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8-inch square baking dish, creating the base layer of the cobbler.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the peaches, adding richness and helping the topping brown beautifully during baking.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Stir in the milk until the batter is just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light and tender.
- Pour Batter Over Peaches: Pour the prepared batter gently over the peaches and butter in the pan, allowing some peaches to peek through the batter, which lends the cobbler a rustic and homemade appearance.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about one hour, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges, and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
Notes
- Use fresh peaches if in season by peeling and slicing them instead of canned for a fresher flavor.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
- Ensure to drain peaches well to avoid a soggy bottom in the cobbler.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger pan if needed.
