Ingredients
  

  • Peach Cobbler
  • 6 cups fresh peaches peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • For the Cobbler Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the Peaches: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Toss until the peaches are well coated, and let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the peach mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Make the Cobbler Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the cobbler topping. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add Boiling Water: Pour the boiling water into the flour-butter mixture and stir until just combined. It will form a thick batter.
  • Top the Peaches: Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter evenly over the peaches. Don't worry about covering the entire surface – the batter will spread as it bakes.
  • Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbly.
  • Serve Warm: Allow the peach cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It's best enjoyed warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
  • Enjoy: Dive into a slice of this classic Southern Peach Cobbler, savoring the sweet and juicy peach filling beneath the golden, buttery crust. Perfect for family gatherings or a comforting dessert any time of the year!
