Peach Cobbler

I love peaches as this fruit can only be fully enjoyed during the season.  Finding peaches out of season is just about impossible and it is always a fail in taste and texture! Because of this you truly appreciate this stone fruit, full of juicy sweetness with a flavour like no other. There are so many recipes to enjoy but the peach cobbler is an old classic.

A cobbler is filled with juicy fruit and then a buttery, biscuit batter is poured overtop! And once baked it’s paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients

This is a simple recipe with simple ingredients. You may just have all the ingredients in your pantry and all you have to do is add some fresh peaches!

  • Peaches
  • Granulated sugar
  • Unsalted butter
  • All-purpose flour
  • Baking powder
  • Full milk
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Salt

Variation

I’ve adjusted this recipe to cut down on the sugar, but if you find you have super juicy peaches you could cut back the 1/4 cup sugar even more to a few tablespoons. You could also add some fresh raspberries to the peach cobbler or make it a mixed fruit cobbler. This recipe is easily adaptable to your specific tastes, so you can have fun and create your own favourite version.

The Size of Dish Matters

There are only a few steps in creating a cobbler and what I’ve learned is the size of dish matters. I used a smaller dish (because, well it was prettier!) but it’s important to have the batter spread out so it can push through the peaches and bake on top. You’ll also find the step that takes the longest is peeling and slicing the peaches, so rest assured the recipe itself is quick and simple to make. I especially like how you basically just layer all the ingredients into your dish. And then the magic happens in the oven, creating a unique peach cobbler every time, with peaches popping through the batter and cracking lines of cinnamon.

How To Make a Peach Cobbler

Step One: Add the peaches, sugar and salt to the saucepan, cook until juicy and the sugar has dissolved. If the peaches are already soft and juicy then there is no need to heat them up.

Step Two: Pour the batter into a baking dish of melted butter. Then top with the peaches and all the juices. Dust the top generously with ground cinnamon.

Step Three: Bake the peach cobbler until the batter is puffed and browned.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large peaches, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 6 Tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup full milk, at room temperature
  • ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ËšF.
  2. Add sliced peaches, sugar and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. 
Cook peaches on medium heat for a few minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and juices from the peaches start to flow. Remove from heat and set aside. Note: If your peaches are soft, juicy and fresh you don’t have to heat them, just mix in the sugar and salt and set aside.
  3. Add butter to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the dish with butter in the oven for approx. 2 minutes to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the dish from the oven.
  4. In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, mix until combined and no lumps. Pour the mixture into the pan over the melted butter.
  5. Spoon the peaches and juice over the batter. Then sprinkle cinnamon generously over the top.
  6. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the top is browned and mixture is bubbling.
  7. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Step 2 is only necessary if you have hard peaches that need to be softened and to help get the juices flowing.If your peaches are soft, juicy and fresh you don’t have to heat them, just mix in the sugar and salt and set aside.
