Recipe Summary:

• Cook Time: 40 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour
• Servings: 8
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 6 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a cast-iron skillet or a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, 1 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to coat the peaches evenly.
3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared cast-iron skillet or baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
5. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
6. Gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the peach filling, covering as much of the surface as possible.
8. Sprinkle a bit of extra granulated sugar over the dough for an added touch of sweetness and crunch.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown, and the peaches are bubbly.
10. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Helpful Tips:

• For an easy peel, blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily.
• Feel free to use frozen or canned peaches when fresh ones are not in season. Just be sure to drain them well.
• Make the cobbler ahead of time and reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes before serving for the best warm, gooey texture.

Storage Instructions:

• Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or the entire dish in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
• You can freeze the cobbler for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm in the oven at 350°F.

Pairings:

• This peach cobbler pairs beautifully with a glass of chilled sweet tea or a cup of hot coffee.
• Serve alongside other summer favorites like grilled corn or a fresh garden salad for a well-rounded meal.
