Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Peach Filling
In a bowl, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix until the peaches are evenly coated.
Pour the peach mixture into the baking dish.
3. Make the Cobbler Batter
In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and melted butter, stirring until smooth.
4. Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Do not stir—this allows the batter to rise and create the cobbler crust.
5. Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top becomes golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
6. Cool and Serve
Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect dessert.
