Cook Time: 40 to 45 minutes
Total Time: 60 to 65 minutes
Servings: 8
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
2. Cut 7 tablespoons of butter and place them into the baking dish. Put the dish in the oven to allow the butter to melt while you prep the peaches. Optional: Bake the butter a bit longer to brown it for added depth of flavor, but be careful not to burn it.
3. Take your peaches and remove the peels. You can peel them with a knife if they're ripe enough or use a peeler if preferred. Ensure to remove the pits and then slice the peaches into approximately quarter to half-inch slices.
4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the peach slices with both the brown and granulated sugar. Stir occasionally, cooking for about two minutes or until all the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat once done.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. To this dry mixture, add the milk and mix together until just combined into a batter.
6. Retrieve your baking dish from the oven and carefully pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not mix the batter with the butter; instead, ensure it's evenly spread out over the bottom.
7. Distribute the cooked peaches evenly on top of the batter, making room for the cobbler topping to rise during baking.
8. Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler feels springy to the touch.
9. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It's highly recommended to serve this delicious dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.
Cooking Tips:
- Peach skins can be left on if you enjoy a more rustic texture, but peeling them provides a smoother filling.
- If fresh peaches are unavailable, substitute with the same volume of thawed, drained, and dried frozen peaches, or canned peaches that have been drained.
- The cobbler can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
