Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 4 cups peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Arrange sliced peaches evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then drizzle peach preserves over the fruit layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until a smooth, slightly lumpy batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter evenly over the peach layer, using a spatula to spread it to the edges of the dish, ensuring complete coverage.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes to allow the filling to set and become less runny.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Select ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor and sweetness, preferably using fresh seasonal peaches at peak ripeness.
- Adjust sugar levels based on peach sweetness, tasting the fruit beforehand to determine if you need more or less added sugar.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking mix for those with dietary restrictions.
- Prevent soggy bottom by patting peach slices dry with paper towels before arranging in the baking dish, reducing excess moisture that can make the crust soggy.
