- If using canned peaches: Drain the peaches and skip the water. Combine with the sugar and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Slowly stir in 1 cup milk to avoid lumps, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Pour the batter into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Do not stir.
- Spoon the hot peach mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir. The batter will rise to the top and form a delicious crust as it bakes.
- Bake:
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve:
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of nutmeg to the peach mixture.
- Adjust the sugar in the filling based on the sweetness of your peaches.
- This cobbler can be made ahead of time and served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for gatherings.
Enjoy your delightful old-fashioned peach cobbler!
