# Peach Cobbler

Juicy spiced peaches under a golden, buttery biscuit topping — the kind of dessert that fills the kitchen with the smell of summer.

Prep: 15 min · Cook: 45 min · Total: 60 min · Yields: 8 servings

## Ingredients

- 6 large peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced about ½ inch thick — fresh or thawed frozen)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for the filling)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar (for topping)

## Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Combine the 6 large sliced peaches, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground nutmeg, and 1 tbsp cornstarch in a large bowl. Toss until the peaches are evenly coated.
3. Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer. Scatter the ¼ cup butter pieces over the top.
4. Bake the peaches uncovered for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping — this jump-starts the juices and keeps the topping from going soggy.
5. Whisk together the 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup light brown sugar, 1½ tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt in a medium bowl.
6. Pour in the ¾ cup whole milk and stir just until a thick, shaggy batter forms. Do not overmix — a few lumps are fine.
7. Remove the dish from the oven. Drop the batter in large spoonfuls over the hot peaches, leaving gaps so steam can escape.
8. Sprinkle the 1 tbsp turbinado sugar evenly over the batter for a crackly, golden crust.
9. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes before serving so the filling thickens slightly. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

## Tip

> Drop the batter in uneven mounds rather than spreading it smooth — the rough surface creates more craggy, caramelized edges, which is the best part of the topping.
