Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium peaches)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/3 cup whole milk (or dairy-free milk like oat milk)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Creamy vanilla ice cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Peel, pit, and slice about 5 cups of fresh peaches. If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain well.
- Toss peaches in a large bowl with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (if using), and 2 teaspoons cornstarch. Stir gently to coat evenly. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add 6 tablespoons cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or forks to cut butter into flour until coarse crumbs form.
- In a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup whole milk and 1 beaten large egg. Pour into flour-butter mixture and stir gently until just combined; batter will be slightly sticky.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour peach filling into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of cobbler topping over peaches, leaving gaps for filling to bubble through.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly after 25 minutes.
- Let cobbler cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm topped with a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Keep butter cold for a flaky topping. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid toughness. Add extra cornstarch if peaches are very juicy. Let cobbler cool slightly before serving for best texture. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or oat flour. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free milk and ice cream.
