How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process for making this mouthwatering peach cobbler:
Step 1: Preheat and Prep the Butter
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is warming up, melt the butter and pour it into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Let it sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 2: Prepare the Peaches
If using fresh peaches, slice them into thin pieces and set them aside. If using canned peaches, drain the syrup and rinse them lightly under cold water to remove excess sweetness.
Step 3: Cook the Peaches with Sugar
In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, granulated sugar, and a splash of water. Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Make the Cobbler Topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Step 5: Assemble the Cobbler
Pour the peach mixture into the prepared baking dish over the melted butter. Spread it evenly, then pour the batter over the top. If using a pie crust, roll it out and place it over the peaches, crimping the edges to seal.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden and Perfect
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If using a pie crust, you may need to cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.
Step 7: Serve It Right
Let the cobbler cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra-special touch, drizzle with a bit of caramel sauce!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are a few tips to ensure your peach cobbler turns out perfectly every time:
- Use a mix of fresh and canned peaches for a balanced flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter—it should still be slightly lumpy.
- Let the cobbler rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
How to Serve
This peach cobbler is versatile and can be served in various ways:
- With a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- With a dollop of whipped cream
- As a side dish for quick family dinners
- As a dessert for special occasions
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can prepare the filling and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The cobbler can also be baked and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
