Ingredients

For the Peach Filling:

• 6-8 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Peach Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
   • Transfer the peach mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Make the Cobbler Topping:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
   • Pour the cobbler batter evenly over the peach filling in the baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out if necessary. The batter will rise as it bakes, creating a delicious crust.
5. Bake the Cobbler:
   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean.
   • If the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This will help the juices thicken.
   • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

Enjoy the timeless pleasure of this vintage oven-baked peach cobbler, a dessert that perfectly captures the essence of homemade goodness and the sweet taste of summer!
