Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups sliced fresh peaches
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 2-quart baking dish with non-stick spray.
- Spread sliced peaches evenly into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened butter and 1 cup sugar together until creamy.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and optional nutmeg, then mix until combined.
- Add egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing until a soft cookie-style batter forms.
- Flatten small pieces of dough with your hands and place them over the peaches without fully covering the fruit.
- Bake for 36 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the cobbler rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use peaches that are slightly firm for the best texture.
- Frozen peaches should be thawed and drained before baking.
- Allow the cobbler to rest after baking so the filling thickens slightly.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven for the best texture.
