Ingredients You’ll Need for Peach Cobbler

To create this delightful Peach Cobbler, gather these simple ingredients:

• 4 cups fresh peaches, sliced
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Let’s Make It Together

Follow these easy steps to create your own Peach Cobbler:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a bowl, mix sliced peaches with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to release juices.

3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining sugar. Stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.

4. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.

5. Spoon the peach mixture over the batter, but do not stir—this will allow the juices to bubble up during baking.

6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden and bubbly—your kitchen will smell divine!

7. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, ideally topped with scoop of vanilla ice cream for that added creamy goodness.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

To ensure your Peach Cobbler turns out perfect every time, here are some helpful tips:

• Make-Ahead Advice: You can prepare the peach mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just combine it with the batter before baking to preserve the fresh fruit flavors.

• Ingredient Swaps: If fresh peaches aren’t available, feel free to use frozen peaches—there’s no need to thaw them before mixing!

• Slicing Tricks: For easier slicing and measuring, use a serrated knife to cut your peaches; it helps to keep those juicy juices intact.
