- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Whisk
- Spoon or spatula
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Rimmed sheet pan, optional
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced peaches fresh, canned and drained, or frozen and thawed
- ½ cup granulated sugar for the filling
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt for the filling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling
- ¼ teaspoon extra cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix peaches, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt until the peaches look glossy.
- Spread the peach filling evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir just until a thick, spoonable batter forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter over the peach filling, leaving a few small spaces for the filling to bubble through.
- Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake for 38 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Rest for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
For the best texture, drain canned peaches well or thaw and pat dry frozen peaches before mixing the filling. Let the cobbler rest for 15 to 20 minutes after baking so the peach filling can thicken.
