Peach cobbler is synonymous with summer and I can’t think of a better dessert for Labor Day weekend! Fresh, ripe farmer’s market peaches are perfect for this cobbler. You can alter the sugar levels depending on if you like your cobbler sweeter (or not as sweet!), and of course I highly recommend adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! How did you celebrate the weekend?
Peach Cobbler
Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled and sliced peaches (about 5)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Batter
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the sliced peaches, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt and place over medium heat. Stir to fully coat the peach slices, and cook for a few minutes to let the sugar fully dissolve. The peaches will also release a fair amount of juice, this is normal. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the butter into 1/2" pieces and place in a 9"x13" baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter. Alternatively, you can melt the butter separately and add it to the baking dish. Once the butter is fully melted, remove the baking dish from the oven.
- While the oven is preheating, mix together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk and stir just until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, and smooth it with a spatula to get an even layer across the whole pan. It will not fully mix with the melted butter, this is ok.
- Spoon the peach slices and juices over top of the batter evenly across the entire surface. Sprinkle the top liberally with ground cinnamon, and then bake for 35-40 minutes. Best served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
- Enjoy!
