Homemade Peach Cobbler
This Homemade Peach Cobbler is warm, juicy, buttery, and packed with sweet peach flavor. Fresh peaches bake beneath a soft, golden topping that soaks up just enough of the fruit juices while staying tender on top.
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches about 6–8 medium peaches
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
- Pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbwp coarse sugar optional, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar 3-quart baking dish.
- Add the sliced peaches to a large bowl. Sprinkle with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Toss gently until the peaches are evenly coated. Spread the peach mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips to cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla. Stir just until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough evenly over the peaches. It does not need to completely cover the fruit. Sprinkle the topping with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the peach filling is bubbling and the cobbler topping is golden brown.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken as it rests.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
