Southern Peach Cobbler
Nothing says summer in the South quite like a warm dish of homemade peach cobbler. Sweet, juicy peaches simmered in brown sugar and cinnamon, topped with a golden, buttery crust. A comforting and hearty Southern tradition.
Ingredients
- 8 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar for filling
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar for batter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sliced peaches, 1 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Cook the peach mixture for 8–10 minutes until it starts to bubble and thicken. Stir frequently and remove from heat.
- Place the stick of butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and set it in the preheated oven until the butter melts completely. Remove the dish and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter directly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
- Spoon the warm peach mixture evenly over the batter without mixing them together. The batter will rise to the top as it bakes.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
