Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups sliced fresh peaches (or other fruits)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of sliced fresh peaches (or your choice of fruit) with 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Gently toss the mixture until the fruit is well coated with the sugar and spices. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. This dry mixture will provide the base for the cobbler batter.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the milk and butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cobbler tough.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully spoon the batter over the fruit. It’s okay if the batter doesn’t completely cover the fruit, as it will spread while baking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to set slightly.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for an extra treat!
Tips
- • For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches at the peak of their season. If fresh peaches aren't available, frozen fruit works well too! • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to a tough, dense cobbler. Stir just until the ingredients are combined. • For extra richness, try substituting half of the milk with heavy cream. • The cobbler is most delicious when served warm, ideally within an hour of baking. • Experiment with different fruits like berries, apples, or a mixed fruit combination to create your own unique version. • A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream takes this dessert from great to absolutely incredible. • Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the juices to set and make serving easier.
