Easy Peach Cobbler with Buttery Topping Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced peaches (about 6 large fresh peaches, or use frozen/canned, drained)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided ¾ cup + ¼ cup)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for topping)
How to Make Easy Peach Cobbler with Buttery Topping
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Filling
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss sliced peaches with ¾ cup sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out the juices.
Step 2: Make the Buttery Topping Batter
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ¼ cup sugar.
- Stir in the melted butter and milk until just combined (don’t overmix).
Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler
- Pour the peach mixture, with juices, evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the batter evenly over the peaches. (It won't cover completely; the batter will spread as it bakes.)
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top, if using.
Step 4: Bake and Serve
- Bake in the center of the oven for 38–42 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling.
- Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
