Description
A warm, comforting peach cobbler with juicy spiced peaches and a golden, buttery topping that bakes to a light crisp.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
10 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup buttermilk, cold
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and spread butter evenly across a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place sliced peaches in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix with peaches and vanilla extract until evenly coated.
- Transfer peaches to the prepared dish and bake for 15 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in buttermilk just until combined.
- Remove peaches from oven and drop spoonfuls of dough over the top.
- Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the topping.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
- Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Frozen peaches can be used; thaw and drain before using.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for deeper spice flavor.
Sprinkle chopped pecans on top for extra texture.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in oven at 300°F for best texture or microwave for convenience.
Drain canned peaches well and reduce sugar slightly if using.
Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the topping light.
Can prepare filling ahead and bake with topping when ready.
