Ingredients

01 5 peaches, peeled, cored and sliced (about 4 cups).

Instructions

Step 01

Combine the sliced peaches, 3/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan and stir well.

Step 02

Cook on medium heat for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the peach juices start to flow. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 03

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the butter and add it to a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Place the dish in the oven as it preheats to melt the butter.

Step 04

In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk just until combined.

Step 05

Once the butter is melted, remove the dish from the oven and pour the batter over the butter, spreading it evenly.

Step 06

Spoon the peaches and their juices over the batter. Generously sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top.

Step 07

Bake for 38-40 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy with a scoop of ice cream if desired.

Notes

  1. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend such as Cup4Cup or King Arthur Measure for Measure.
  2. If using canned peaches, you may skip the first step of the instructions and start from preheating the oven.
