Easy Peach Cobbler Recipe
Picture this: it’s Sunday evening. Your kitchen fills with the warm smell of peaches, butter, and a hint of warm vanilla. The timer dings; your cobbler has finished baking. The edges of the baking dish bubble with glossy peach juice, releasing aroma of fresh lemon. Let the bubbles settle as you grab the ice cream from the freezer. You spoon yourself a healthy scoop from the corner. The edges of the cobbler golden brown and crisped from caramelized peach. Make sure you go back for the sauce left in the pan! Finally, you top the steaming cobbler with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and watch as is melts ever so slightly and pools with the sauce in the bottom of the bowl. Are you hungry yet? Let’s get started!
Peaches – The star of the show, they provide a naturally sweet and fruity base for our cobbler. If peaches aren’t in season, you can substitute with canned peaches or other fresh fruits like nectarines or plums. Sugar – Enhances the sweetness of the peaches. Feel free to adjust the amount based on the sweetness of your peaches or your personal preference. Cornstarch – Acts as a thickener for the peach filling, giving it a pie-like consistency. If you don’t have cornstarch, you can use all-purpose flour as an alternative, but note that the texture might slightly differ. Lemon – Both zest and juice. Adds brightness and tang to balance the sweetness of the peaches. Flour – All-purpose. Baking powder – Leavens the cobbler topping, making it rise and become fluffy as it bakes. Salt – Enhances all the other flavors in the cobbler. Butter – Contributes to the rich, buttery flavor of the cobbler topping. If you’re dairy-free, you can use a vegan butter substitute. Egg – Helps bind the cobbler topping ingredients together. Milk – Moistens the cobbler topping ingredients, helping them combine into a smooth batter. You can use any dairy or non-dairy milk you prefer.
Trust me, this Peach Cobbler is a piece of cake…or should I say, a piece of cobbler? Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff and get this beautiful dessert in the oven! First thing’s first, let’s preheat the oven to 375℉. You want it nice and hot by the time we’re ready with the cobbler. Now, grab those juicy peaches and toss them into a saucepan with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook this over medium heat until it starts bubbling. We’re looking for the peaches to soften and the sauce to thicken, which should take about 5 minutes. While the peaches are doing their thing, scatter your butter cubes in a 9×9-inch baking dish and pop it in the oven. It’ll melt quickly and get all bubbly, creating a delicious base for our cobbler. n a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, egg, vanilla, and milk. Just mix until the flour is incorporated – we don’t want to overwork it. Okay, here comes the fun part. Pour the batter right into the dish with the melted butter. Don’t stir! Then, spread the peaches evenly over the top. Again, resist the urge to stir. We’re building layers of flavor here! And now we bake! Slide the dish into the oven and let it do its magic for 40-45 minutes. You’re looking for a golden brown, set topping. Then, pull it out and let it cool a bit before serving. And remember, a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes this from delicious to ‘I can’t stop eating this’ level.
Storage
Storing your peach cobbler is a breeze. Simply allow it to cool to room temperature after baking. Once it’s cool, you can cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. It’s best to enjoy your cobbler within 4 to 5 days, reheating in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to serve it again. For longer storage, consider freezing the cobbler, either whole or in individual portions. Just ensure it’s wrapped well to avoid freezer burn, and it can keep up to 3 months.
