Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.
  3. Pour the peach mixture into a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  7. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Spoon dollops of the cobbler topping evenly over the peaches in the skillet.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • You can use frozen peaches if fresh peaches are not available, but thaw them first and drain any excess liquid.
  • Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your peaches.
