Ingredients
6 cups Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter (cold, cubed)
1/4 cup Boiling water
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss gently to coat all peach slices evenly.
3. Pour the peach mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the peaches, covering the entire surface.
6. Drizzle boiling water over the topping – this helps create that signature cobbler texture.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
8. Allow to cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Pro-Tips:
• Always use peaches at peak ripeness for maximum flavor.
• Keep your butter cold until the moment you need it for a more tender topping.
• Let your cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes after baking so the juices can thicken properly.
Variations:
• Mixed Berry: Add blueberries or raspberries to the peach filling.
• Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the topping before baking.
• Adult Twist: Incorporate a tablespoon of bourbon or amaretto into the filling.
