Old Time Oven Peach Cobbler
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh peaches (peeled and sliced) or 2 cans of sliced peaches (in juice, drained)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (if using fresh peaches)
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Peach Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using fresh peaches). Toss until the peaches are well coated.
- Spread the peach mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using) to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the cobbler batter over the peach filling in the baking dish. Do not stir; it will bake up around the peaches.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
- Serve:
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. This cobbler is delicious on its own or served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Tips:
- If using canned peaches, be sure to drain them well to prevent excess liquid from making the cobbler soggy.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some brown sugar or cinnamon on top of the batter before baking.
