Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar, divided
- 60ml (1/4 cup) water
- 15g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
- 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
- 240g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 10g (2 tsp) baking powder
- 2g (1/4 tsp) salt

- 240ml (1 cup) milk
- 10g (2 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 50g (1/4 cup) light brown sugar
Cooking Time
Total estimated time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). A well-preheated oven ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Peach Filling
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches release their juices and the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water, then stir into the peach mixture. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3: Make the Cobbler Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and milk, stirring until just combined into a smooth batter.
Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.
Step 5: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Crust
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the peaches and batter. This will create a delightful, crunchy cinnamon sugar crust.
Step 6: Bake the Cobbler
Place the cobbler in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cobbler comes out clean.
Step 7: Serve
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert indulgence.
