Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (800 g) peach slices (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Warm the oven to 375F (190C), establishing the ideal baking environment for a luscious dessert.
- Batter Crafting: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, then blend milk until achieving a smooth, silky texture that promises a tender foundation.
- Butter Canvas: Lavishly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with melted butter, creating a golden, glistening base that ensures effortless serving and rich flavor.
- Assembly Technique: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter without disturbing its surface, then gracefully distribute peach slices across the landscape, allowing them to nestle naturally.
- Flavor Enhancement: Dust the peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon, transforming the dessert with a fragrant, caramelized crown that promises depth and sweetness.
- Baking Transformation: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the cobbler develops a burnished, golden-brown exterior and the batter tenderly embraces the peaches, signaling perfect doneness.
- Finishing Touch: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest briefly, allowing the flavors to harmonize and intensify, creating a cohesive dessert experience.
- Serving Suggestion: Present the warm cobbler accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cloud of whipped cream, elevating this classic comfort dessert to a sublime indulgence.
Notes
- Prevent Batter Sinking: Avoid stirring the batter after pouring into the buttered dish to maintain a crisp, layered texture where the batter rises beautifully around the peaches.
- Maximize Fruit Flavor: Use ripe, in-season peaches for maximum sweetness and consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to enhance the fruit’s natural taste.
- Adjust Sweetness Levels: Reduce brown sugar for a less sweet version or swap with honey for a more complex flavor profile, especially if using very ripe, naturally sweet peaches.
- Customize Dietary Needs: Replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version, and use dairy-free milk and margarine for a lactose-intolerant alternative.
