Ingredients

Filling

  • 6-8 fresh Georgia peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Peaches:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. Place them in a large bowl.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In the bowl with the peaches, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, brandy, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch.
    • Mix well to coat the peaches evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Prepare the Baking Dish:
    • Pour the peach mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Make the Topping:
    • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
    • Add the melted butter, milk, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, forming a thick batter.
  5. Assemble the Cobbler:
    • Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the peach mixture in the baking dish. Try to spread the batter evenly, but it’s okay if some peaches peek through.
  6. Bake:
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • The filling should be bubbly and fragrant.
  7. Serve:
    • Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
    • Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy your Brandied Georgia Peach Cobbler as a comforting and delicious dessert perfect for any occasion!
